Nazem Kadri hasn't been afraid to rip rubber this season, and that won't stop against the Hurricanes.
NHL
Nazem Kadri has been firing away in recent outings. After recording two shots or less in his first two games, he has since cleared his shot total in 20 of 24 games.
My Flames vs. Hurricanes predictions expect Kadri to continue piling up shots against a Carolina Hurricanes team he’s historically excelled against.
Let’s get into my NHL picks for November 30.
Flames vs Hurricanes Best bet: Nazem Kadri Over 2.5 shots (-155)
Nazem Kadri has shot the lights out all season long, averaging 3.5 shots on seven attempts per outing.
He’s been consistent as anybody in the NHL, especially when rested. Kadri has cleared this line in all 14 games he’s played following one day off. Yes, 14 of 14.
Kadri has averaged a whopping 4.1 shots on eight attempts under such circumstances. This includes eight against the Panthers, five against the Jets, and eight performances with four or more over the last 10 — incredible shot generation.
While the Carolina Hurricanes are a high-end shot suppression team, that has been the case for years and has yet to impact Kadri. He has three or more shots in six straight against Carolina, averaging five along the way.
The Canes are also a mid-tier team in suppressing shots to centers over the last 10 games. They’ve given up more shots to that position than any other grouping.
Look for Kadri to take advantage.
Kadri has generated 35 shots on target and 3.8 expected goals over his last 10 games. That has translated to just one goal. He is going to get rewarded for his efforts sooner rather than later.
The Calgary Flames have scored at least three goals in four of the last five games while the Hurricanes have struggled keeping the puck out, allowing 16 goals over their past five.
Carolina will need to try and outscore their goaltending problems, which could make for a high-event affair.
Nazem Kadri has at least three shots in 17 of his last 20 games. Find more NHL betting trends for Flames vs. Hurricanes.
