Pick of the day record 0-0 Pick: women's ice hockey: Japan vs China JAPAN PUCKLINE -1.5(-125) Time of game 00:40 PST
Alright you fucking weebs this one is for you. Japan has improved well since their last Olympics improving to 6th on the IIHF women's hockey rankings. They've also dominated their opposition beating Sweden 3-1 and denmark 6-2. Despite China having Canadians/Americans on their team they still aren't that great. China may have beat Denmark 3-1 but Japan beat them today 6-2. Another bet that should hit is O 4.5 if they can keep up with their shooting pace.
Japan has some good goaltending saving 26/27 against Sweden and 18/20 against Denmark.
The firepower is what's so shocking. Japan had 3 goals on 40 shots against Sweden and 6 goals on 42 shots against denmark. If they can keep that up against China it should be an easy win.
Chinas goal tending is good too saving 33/36 against the Czechs and 22/23 against denmark but their firepower is what they lack. They only had one goal on 14 shots against the Czechs and 3 goals on 32 shots against a weak Denmark team.
All in all they both should hit but im going Puckline at -1.5.
