Devils Open Fire On Sharks - 3 NJD Devils SOG Props
The Devils are on the road in San Jose tonight. The Devils have been firing away recently & the Sharks consistently get shelled. This isn't advised, but I am betting 3 SOG props in the same game.
The New Jersey Devils have been struggling recently winning four of their last 10 games, but getting a matchup against the San Jose Sharks acts as a perfect get-right spot.
Over the Shark's last 10 games, they are averaging the most unblocked shot attempts per game and the most shots allowed per game in the NHL. Although the Devils have been struggling, they have put up 34+ shots on goal in seven of their last 10 games.
With the Devils looking to bounce back off of back-to-back losses and Timo Meier trying to beat his former team for the first time, I love this spot and I am going to try and take advantage of it with three SOG props.
Timo Meier Over 2.5 Shots On Goal (-140)
I guess I spoiled one of the plays with that last statement… But with three different shooters, did you think I would leave Meier off the list? In his first game against the Sharks Meier put up five shots on 12 shot attempts.
Tonight will be his first time back in the Shark Tank in San Jose, a building where he was one of the most consistent shooters in the NHL before being traded last season.
Meier has covered this line in five of his last 10 games, this is a steep price to pay for a prop with these hit rates, the plus EV bettors are in shambles reading this right now, but I think Timo Meier wants to win and score against his old team, his 12 shot attempts in the first game of the season series was his second-highest attempt game of the season.
With the Sharks allowing the most shots per game to wingers and Meier playing on the Devils top line, I expect him to be heavily involved in this one tonight.
Jack Hughes Over 4.5 Shots On Goal (+100)
I am not going to spend much time on this one… betting Jack Hughes to shoot the puck is usually a good idea, he has covered this line in seven of his last 10 games and is averaging 9.7 shot attempts per game over that stretch.
Hughes has also covered this line in two straight games against the Sharks and has had 11 or more attempts in each game. On top of that, Hughes has covered three straight games on the road and has nine or more attempts in each.
Luke Hughes Over 1.5 Shots On Goal (-140)
Back to another juicy one… The Sharks are allowing in the most shots per game to defencemen by more than a full shot per game and Luke Hughes is averaging the most shots per game from Devils defencemen at 6.1 attempts per game over his last 10 games.
Luke Hughes has covered this line in seven of his last 10 games overall and in two straight on the road while also having six or more shot attempts in three straight on the road. He also covered this line in his first match with the Sharks having three shots on seven attempts, this is another one I feel the price is worth paying despite the year-long hit rates.
