Our NHL saves model is pretty on point with the market for NHL Thursday. The best pick to make, sorted by strength, is on Hurricanes netminder Pyotr Kochetkov to record under 22.5 saves.

PRO Projections barely get to 22 here, pegging Kochetkov for 22.1 shots on net. Taking the under, particularly best odds (-114 at FanDuel) results in a positive edge according to PRO models. The Hurricanes allow the fewest shots per game in hockey this season.

Secondly, let's shift to another savvy prop bet while we're covering the Sabres vs. Hurricanes tilt. PRO Projections constantly update with news, odds movement and more.

As the day rolls on, one of the top selections for bettors is taking Hurricanes defenseman Sean Walker under 1.5 shots on net.

Action hockey models predict Walker for 1.4 pucks on goal, which is a great bet at even money (bet365).
