Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin contributed in different ways in Pittsburgh’s win over Florida. Letang registered one shot and an assist; Malkin recorded a goal and an assist. A small shooting target and a point market can each fit a Penguins-win view, with very different prices attached.
Starting with a hypothetical Pittsburgh win over Montreal, these Penguins parlay picks compare Letang reaching one shot, Malkin contributing a goal or an assist, and Zack Bolduc finishing without an assist. Bolduc can score himself and still stay under; Letang can reach his target without a point. The different asks deserve separate decisions about price.

Kris Letang: 1+ shot on goal at −450
Letang has registered a shot in 40 of his 44 Penguins winning appearances, compared with 77 of 93 games overall. He reached one in all five Pittsburgh wins this season. His latest five shot totals are two, three, one, one and two.
Two shots was −110 and covered 23 of those 44 wins, seventeen fewer than one. The larger payout asks for a much less consistent shooting contribution. His one shot in each of the wins over Florida and Nashville would have cleared the lower target and missed two.
The Nashville game brought one shot and an assist in 22:33. Against Florida, he had the same totals in 16:55. Different amounts of ice time still finished on one shot, which is the room you are paying for at −450.
His latest Utah game supplied two shots in 23:03 without a point. The shooting target would have cleared through a quiet night on the scoresheet. That is one reason to assess this separately from a goal or assist market.
He can also produce a point without registering a shot. In April’s 5–2 win over New Jersey, Letang had an assist but no shots in 20:15. That was his latest winning miss at one, and a direct warning against treating a Pittsburgh win as enough.
His current average is about twenty minutes, down from roughly 22 in the older Pittsburgh sample. He has still registered a shot in twelve of thirteen appearances this season, but the reduced average and the zero-shot winning example belong beside that record.
One shot leaves considerably more room than two at a short price. Weigh the seventeen extra historical winning clears against the much smaller payout. The target asks for little, but still needs Letang to put a puck on goal.
Evgeni Malkin: 1+ point at −125
Malkin’s point target asks for either a goal or an assist. It cleared in 31 of his 37 Penguins winning appearances, compared with 49 of 74 games overall. His current record is less consistent: seven of twelve appearances cleared, including three of his four appearances in Pittsburgh wins.
The recent winning miss came against Dallas. Malkin finished without a point in 19:27 as the Penguins won 2–1, despite recording two shots and receiving 6:12 of power-play ice time. A substantial opportunity to contribute did not deliver a point.
His latest five point totals are one, one, zero, two and two. The most recent Utah game brought two assists in 16:23. A goal was unnecessary for the point target, even though Pittsburgh lost 4–3.
Against Florida, he recorded a goal and an assist in 12:54 as Pittsburgh won 4–0. That game and the Dallas miss show why ice time alone cannot decide this choice: the shorter appearance supplied two points, while the longer one supplied none.
Two points was +390 and covered seventeen of the 37 wins, fourteen fewer than one. Malkin’s three-point game in October’s 6–5 win over Montreal cleared both targets, but the higher line gives up many of the winning appearances where he contributed once.
His current average of about seventeen minutes is close to roughly 18 in the older Pittsburgh sample. He is expected on the second line, with Bryan Rust among Pittsburgh’s injured players. That context does not guarantee extra scoring chances or a repeat of his earlier Montreal production.
At −125, one point offers a larger payout than Letang’s shot floor. It also depends on a goal being scored by Malkin or on a scoring play to which he receives an assist. The longer winning record is useful context, with the current seven-of-twelve rate and Dallas miss making the limits clear.
Zack Bolduc: under 0.5 assists at −380
Bolduc needs to finish without an assist. This under cleared in 39 of his 46 Canadiens losing appearances, compared with 89 of 110 Montreal games overall. Four of Montreal’s five losses this season stayed under, alongside eleven of his thirteen appearances overall.
His latest five games have all finished without an assist. That run includes a goal against St. Louis in 12:19. Scoring a goal does not break an assist under; the market needs him to avoid receiving an official assist.
The same distinction appeared in the October loss to Carolina, when Bolduc scored twice without an assist in 14:07. This under would have cleared despite a productive scoring night. It does not require him to finish without a point or Montreal to produce no offense.
The current losing-game miss came against Washington. He recorded an assist in 12:34 as Montreal lost 5–4. One scoring play was enough to break the under, even through a relatively short appearance.
His current average of about fourteen minutes is close to roughly thirteen in the older Montreal sample. His latest Dallas appearance lasted 15:20 and included 4:18 on the power play. He finished without an assist, but that amount of power-play time is a reason to keep passing opportunities in view.
The −380 price gives a small payout for avoiding a single assist. His regular recent ice time and five assist-free appearances support considering the limit, while the Washington loss shows how quickly it can fail. A Penguins win would not prevent Bolduc from assisting on a Canadiens goal.
Compare the contribution and its cost
Letang’s one-shot line kept seventeen winning clears that two shots would have lost, at a much smaller payout. Malkin’s point costs less, but his current seven-of-twelve record and scoreless Dallas win deserve attention beside the longer winning sample. Bolduc’s assist under leaves room for him to score, while his latest power-play time leaves room for passing chances too. Weigh those tradeoffs separately; the records don’t establish a combined chance of clearing.
