Thursday night was a great one for our shot props, as we swept the board with a clean 3-0 mark.
Timo Meier, Jason Robertson, and Cale Makar - all of whom were priced at -125 or better - took care of business for us to keep the prop train rolling.
Let's try and build on it with three more plays for Friday night's small slate.
Dougie Hamilton over 2.5 shots (-175)
The New Jersey Devils always heavily rely upon Dougie Hamilton. With top-four defensemen John Marino and Ryan Graves injured, he'll have even more responsibility on his plate.
Hamilton has registered 8.3 shot attempts per contest through three games without both defenders. He's also averaged around 24 minutes per contest during that span, which is a couple of minutes higher than his usual workload.
The shoot-first blue-liner will be given every opportunity to make his mark on the game, and the matchup is better than it looks on the surface.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have really struggled defensively of late. Believe it or not, only the Anaheim Ducks have allowed shots at a higher rate over the last 10 games.
It's also worth noting the Penguins have given up shots in bulk to opposing defenders all season long. Just four teams - including Arizona, Anaheim, and Columbus - have allowed more shots per game to defensemen.
Expect Hamilton to generate more than his fair share of attempts.
Roman Josi over 4.5 shots (+110)
I generally prefer to back Roman Josi on home ice. His volume is noticeably better in Nashville, which has been the case for some time. That being said, I can make an exception here since he's playing in Anaheim.
Whether you focus on the full season or the last 10 games, the Ducks have been the league's worst team at preventing shots at five-on-five. They're also a subpar penalty-killing team and are prone to taking penalties.
Add it all up, and they're the best team in the league to target for shots. Josi ranks sixth in the league in shot attempts and in the top 10 in shots on target, so he's the kind of guy who can really pop in a spot like this.
He's shown that versus Anaheim over the past year and change, registering five shots or more in three of four meetings dating back to last season.
I expect his success to continue against a horrendous Ducks team that's showing no signs of tightening up defensively.
Jared McCann over 2.5 shots (+115)
Death, taxes, and backing Jared McCann against the Edmonton Oilers. He has a very strong history against them dating back to his time in Pittsburgh, having hit the over in five consecutive meetings.
More important than the past, though, is the present. McCann leads all Seattle Kraken forwards in shot attempts over the last 10 games. He's at his best when playing opposite Jordan Eberle, which should be the case in this game.
At five-on-five, McCann averages nearly 16 attempts per 60 minutes when skating on a line with Eberle. He has a higher shooting output with Eberle than any of the other forwards he's skated with regularly this season.
McCann also sits second on the Kraken in power-play shot attempts. He's a focal point on the man advantage as well, giving him extra opportunities to pile up shots.
I think +115 is a very good price for McCann in this spot.
