The NHL 4 Nations Face-Off comes to a thrilling conclusion tonight as the USA face Canada yet again. With the title of tournament champions on the line, the stakes are high as ever.
Puck drop is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST. Here’s a look at the best prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for American goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.
Best Connor Hellebuyck prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Connor Hellebuyck is a phenomenal goalie, but honestly, he might be the top at his position in the entire world. The 31-year-old is coming off the second Vezina Trophy of his career, and as the current NHL leader in wins, saves, and shutouts, he’s likely on his way to another one.
DraftKings Sportsbook has a single goalie prop option available for Hellebuyck in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship. The star’s saves over/under line is set at 27.5, with +100 odds on the over and -130 on the under.
Hellebuyck is arguably the top performer on this United States team throughout the 4 Nations tourney. He allowed just one goal in each of his two appearances, logging 20 saves against Finland and 25 saves last time out against Canada. Both of those goals he allowed came within the first eight minutes of action in each game, so he’s been playing lights-out after the first period in these contests.
While Canada plays a fast-paced brand of hockey, the under feels compelling. Hellebuyck hasn’t even faced more than 26 shots on goal in either of his games so far in the 4 Nations, mostly thanks to a strong United States defense. With that in mind, it’s probably wiser to favor under 27.5 saves for the goaltender on Thursday night.
