NHL Tuesday bets: Six shot on goal props

We split our picks Monday and will look to get back in the green on what is a loaded night of hockey.

With so many games, we’ll be upping the volume a bit.

I have six players I like to hit their Shots on Goal (SOG) props Tuesday night, so let’s get to the spots.

Valeri Nichushkin over 2.5 SOG (-125 DK)

We start with Valeri Nichushkin, who has been steady with his shots for Colorado.

In a big game, the Avs will visit the Penguins, and Pittsburgh is allowing 32.2 shots per game in their last 10 at home.

Pittsburgh is a very viable target, with their shots allowed numbers increasing when looking at just their last five splits.

I like Nichuskin to capitalize. He’s covered his SOG prop in eight of his last 10 games and three of four on the road.

It always helps that he just had four SOG against the Penguins on Saturday.

Ivan Provorov over 2.5 SOG (+135 DK)

I really like the value we’re getting here for one of Philadelphia’s top defensemen, Ivan Provorov.

Firstly, the opponent. Columbus has gotten pummeled with shots on the road, allowing 37.4 per game in their past 10, which is the most in the NHL.

Then we look at how they fare to defensemen shots, and our boy Provorov’s stock rises. The Blue Jackets are allowing the second-most shots per game to defensemen since the All-Star break.

Provorov has covered his SOG in six of nine and two straight at home.

When these teams last met, Provorov finished with four SOG. Love the +135 value here.

Jacob Trouba over 2.5 SOG (+125 DK)

I admit I’ll be disappointed if you didn’t see this name coming, we ride with Jacob Trouba until further notice.

The reasoning is explained in the tweet below.
