NHL Betting Lines – December 9: Fantasy Pick on Jori Lehtera

Gambling911.com has your NHL betting lines for December 9 along with a Fantasy pick on St. Louis Blues center Jori Lehtera.

This one is a steal at $5000. 

Rotoworld remarked on Lehtera:

Lehtera continues to be a key piece to the Blues offense and has found great chemistry with linemates Vladimir Tarasenko and Jaden Schwartz. This trio has been one of the NHL’s biggest surprises and most effective lines all season. Lehtera’a price has yet to catch up to his production, so I think he makes a tremendous value play tonight.

Lehtera has been credited with helping to keep Tarasenko on a roll but one of the critical aspects of his play involves how he handles back-to-back matchups. 

“He never played back-to-back, so his back-to-back experience has been very trying for him,” coach Ken Hitchcock said. “I’m not 100 percent sure, but I don’t think he has played back-to-back games as a professional, and it’s been getting used to that.”

Lehtera remains well under the radar coming into Tuesday night’s game.
