Anyone who has followed me for a considerable amount of time know that I have an affinity for Bryan Rust, especially at home. The guy has been a cash cow for his shots on goal at home and he has seemed to get back on track this year, so its time to bet on him. What better spot to bet on him then the 31st ranked vs SOG, Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Blue Jackets come into Pittsburgh allowing 36.3 SOG per game this year. They are allowing 37.4 SOG per game in their last 10 games and 38.2 SOG in their last 10 away games. They are a fantastic target and I will be trusting Rust to get the job done. CBJ also allows the 11th most SOG to RWers in the NHL.


Bryan Rust is a curious one because he has a inability to shoot away from home, but when he gets home, watch out. Rust has hit in 82% of home games this year and 75% of home games last year. That is quite the difference form his 29% away this year and 44% away from home last year. Rust has hit in 9/11 home games this year and hit in 3 in a row. At home he is clearing the 3 number quite easily and has had some big shot days in that same time period.

The Bet - Bryan Rust Over 2.5 SOG (-125 on CZRS)
