NHL Tuesday bets: Nine shot props on packed night

Tuesday is a loaded night in hockey, which makes it easy to move on from Monday's struggles. We have 14 games on deck for Tuesday evening, and we're betting as such.

We'll keep our focus on Shots on Goal (SOG) props in the NHL for this Tuesday, and there's plenty to like across the board.

Kirill Kaprizov over 3.5 SOG (-110 DK)

Let's start with Kirill Kaprizov, who has been rolling, particularly at home. Kaprizov loves shooting on home ice, going over 3.5 shots in six straight and 12 of his last 14.

In a big game against Edmonton, I expect the volume to continue, and the Oilers allow 32.3 shots per game on the road in their last 10, a fine target for the evening.

John Carlson over 2.5 SOG (+110 DK)

I love the plus-money here for John Carlson, who has covered his shots prop in three straight games and six of his last 10.

I'm not going to overthink this one. He's hit in two of three games against the Flyers, and Philadelphia has been peppered by shots all season.

Philly also sees the seventh-most shots per game from defensemen, so Carlson should have his opportunities.

Logan Couture over 2.5 SOG (+100 DK)

Why we continue to see Couture at these odds is a question we should try to keep to ourselves. The man is on another level right now, hitting this prop in 11 of the past 13 games.

The road has been his friend, with three-plus shots in eight of 10, and he should see little resistance in a Nashville team allowing 33 shots per game at home in their last ten.

Josh Norris over 2.5 SOG (-145 DK)

The juice is starting to come with Norris, but I'm drinking it against Detroit. By this point, you should know how generous the Red Wings are to shots, but I'll drop the numbers to back it up.

In their last 10 home games, Detroit is allowing 35.7 shots per game.

Norris continues to roll, hitting his SOG in seven of eight. In two games against Detroit this year, Norris has finished with three and six SOG. We bank on him doing it again Tuesday night.

Kris Letang over 2.5 SOG (-110 DK)

I can keep Letang's write-up quite simple. He's hit his SOG in five straight and faces the Islanders, who are allowing the fourth-most shots per game to defensemen since March 1.

As a team, the Islanders are allowing 34.4 shots per game at home in their past 10, there should be plenty to go around for Letang to continue his streak.

Adrian Kempe over 2.5 SOG (-125 DK)

There's plenty of good options on the Los Angeles side, but I like Kempe, who has hit his SOG in eight of his last 10 and four of five on the road.

The attempts are solid, averaging seven per game in his past five, and Chicago has been a good shot target for some time now, allowing 34.4 per game at home their last 10.

Max Pacioretty over 3.5 SOG (+115 DK)

For those who have followed for awhile, Max Pacioretty should bring feelings of nostalgia around a simpler time.

Pacioretty began his season on an absolute tear, hitting his shots on goal with extreme regularity.

His production tapered off dramatically, but prior to a brief absence, his shots started coming again. Upon his return, he seemingly picked up right where he left off.

Pacioretty has played five games since March 6. If we throw out his March 11 game against Pittsburgh, as he got hurt early on and had to leave, the results are worth following.

Averaging eight attempts per game, Pacioretty covered his SOG each time, averaging five SOG in those games. He returned on Saturday and kept up the production, and I think he's officially back.

Tonight, he'll see a Vancouver team allowing 32.4 shots per game at home in their last 10. Let's keep this version of Pacioretty going Tuesday.

Leon Draisaitl over 3.5 SOG (+115 DK)

Draisaitl is rolling and they keep giving him to us at plus-money, so we'll just keep betting it.

Drai has now covered his SOG prop in seven of eight games, averaging an absurd 8.6 shot attempts per game in his last five.

Minnesota has been seeing more shots against them recently, 34.2 in their past five home games to be exact.

What puts this over the edge is power-play data. The Wild are averaging the sixth-most penalties per game in the last 10 games and Draisaitl is leading Edmonton in PP shots in their last 20 games, with 23 shots.

I'll add here that Draisaitl has also covered his SOG in both games against Minnesota this season.

Ryan Johansen over 1.5 SOG (-110 DK)

This one caught my eye on a second pass at these odds, as Johansen has now covered his shots prop in five straight games.

I don't usually go for the 1.5 lines, because they're so juiced, but at -110 I find this to be incredible value.

The Sharks are allowing 34 shots per game in their past 10 road games, a number that jumps to 36.2 when looking at their last five.

They are also letting up the second-most shots to the center position since March 1, and you guessed it, that is where Johansen slots in.

Love the matchup and recent production to need just two shots.

Best of luck Tuesday night! Let's cash some NHL bets and get this week moving in the right direction.
