Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:PIT +1.5 puck line★★★

A dog that keeps it close

Pittsburgh has stayed within a goal in five of their last five, and the puck line pays you for a one-goal loss.

The number

At +1.5 a regulation loss by one still cashes; only a two-goal defeat, empty-netter included, beats it.

The decider

Swayman is the weaker net narrowly right now — stopping about nine of ten, well off his own baseline — so Boston's side of the scoreboard is the one likely to move.

The context

Both clubs have been playing ordinary games lately, so the pattern is not in dispute. Pittsburgh is putting 29.0 shots a game on net and finishing 11.9% of them.

Situational

Neither team is on a back-to-back and both had at least a day off; nothing here is worth adjusting for.

What breaks this

An empty-net goal turns a one-goal loss into two.
