The NHL has an abundance of player and game props to get your hands on. A popular, rather simple option is shots on goal. We don't need the pucks to go in (though that's a nice bonus), we just need them to wind up their stick and hit the net.
NHL Prop #1 - Connor Bedard OVER 2.5 Shots (-150)
NHL Prop #2 - Auston Matthews UNDER 4.5 Shots (-125)
NHL Prop #3 - Connor McDavid OVER 3.5 Shots (+100)

NHL shots on goal odds: February 21
Who likes to shoot right now? With all the NHL matchups tonight, here are the guys we're leaning on to go OVER or UNDER their shots on goal prop.
connor bedard oVER 2.5 Shots (-150)
Bedard has quickly returned form his jaw surgery and hasn't missed a beat, recording 10 shots and six points in his three outings.
The Flyers are barely cracking in a playoff position. Although the Blackhawks don't stand a chance, the 18-year-old still has plenty to play for. Bedard leads all rookies with 39 points despite misssing a chunk of time, he'll be eager to continue inflating his stats and making up for lost time.

auston matthews UNDER 4.5 Shots (-125)
You'd think visiting his hometown would give Matthews an edge. But shockingly, that's not the case. The 26-year-old has sniped the fewest career shots in his 12 meetings against the Yotes (45), meaning he averages 3.75 SPG.
Matthews has also only pocketed five or more shots in two of his last five meetings. However, one of those games went into extra time and the other was against Ottawa, which isn't known for its defense.
connor mcDavid OVER 3.5 Shots (+100)
McDavid hasn't looked like his typical self, finding the back of the net just once in February. The Edmonton captain hasn't earned OVER 3.5 shots since his eight shot effort against Vegas in the opening week of the month.
He's eventually going to have to shake off this slump that has started once the Oilers 16-game streak was interrupted and slowed by All-Star break.
