Viktor Arvidsson's shooting surge makes the over on 3.5 shots on goal a tantalizing pick for the upcoming Kings-Blues matchup. 

Attention all hockey fans and sports bettors: if you're looking for a smart wager to make during the upcoming Los Angeles Kings vs. St. Louis Blues game, look no further than Viktor Arvidsson and his shots on goal. While Arvidsson's season average of 2.88 shots on goal may not seem particularly noteworthy, recent data and trends suggest that betting the over on his 3.5 shots on goal line is a savvy move.

In the past 20 games, Arvidsson has been playing at an incredibly high level, averaging 3.75 shots on goal and going over 3.5 in 11 of those contests. And in the last 10 games, he's been even more impressive, racking up an incredible 4.6 shots on goal per game and surpassing the 3.5 mark in eight of those matchups. Even in his most recent five games, Arvidsson has maintained his hot streak, averaging 3.6 shots on goal and going over 3.5 in three of those outings.

But it's not just Arvidsson's recent performance that makes him a smart bet for the over on shots on goal. He's also been particularly effective against the St. Louis Blues specifically, averaging 3.0 shots on goal in the two games he's played against them this season.

All of this data and trends point to Arvidsson being a strong candidate to exceed his 3.5 shots on goal line during the upcoming game against the Blues. And while no bet is ever a guaranteed winner, making an informed, data-driven decision is always a wise move. So, if you're looking for a solid wager to make during the game, consider betting the over on Arvidsson's shots on goal. It's a choice that could pay off big time, as the winger continues his hot streak and looks to make a big impact against the Blues.
