Cerny has scored in five of his last seven matches and has attempted an impressive 101 shots this season, with 33 on target, averaging 1.17 shots on goal per game. I believe he will perform well in this game, and I am willing to take a risk and bet on him to have at least two shots on target at the attractive odds of 2.70.
