Research checklist for Ottawa Senators at San Jose Sharks
Hockey scoring is low and high-variance, so research focuses on shot volume, ice time and goaltending rather than on the final score alone.
- Check the final injury and availability reports for Ottawa Senators and San Jose Sharks close to the start.
- Check the confirmed starting goalie, which is often announced on game day and moves totals.
- Look at line combinations and power-play units before trusting a shots or points number.
- Convert any price you are offered to a break-even probability and compare it with your own estimate.
- Write down your reason before you place anything, and decide your unit size in advance.
