We have 11 games scheduled for Tuesday night's slate, which means there is no shortage of player props to comb through.

Let's take a closer look at three of my favorites.

Joel Eriksson Ek over 2.5 shots (-139)

Joel Eriksson Ek has been one of the league's more efficient shot generators on home soil. He's averaged 3.4 shots per game in Minnesota this season while going over the number (2.5) in 65% of his games, including nine of the last 12.

He should be able to stay hot Tuesday night against the New York Rangers. They give up a lot of shots, especially to the center position. Only the Columbus Blue Jackets have allowed more shots - or shots per game - to centers than the Rangers.

Look for Eriksson Ek to hit three shots for the 10th time in 13 games.

Mikko Rantanen over 3.5 shots (+105)

Mikko Rantanen is shooting the lights out. He has amassed 63 shot attempts over the last 10 games, which ties him with Kirill Kaprizov for 17th in the NHL over that span.

The uptick in shot attempts has started to lead to success with his totals: Rantanen picked up 15 shots over the last three games while registering at least four in each contest.

He now finds himself in an advantageous matchup against the New Jersey Devils. Only three teams have conceded more shots per game to right wingers this season while no team has allowed more points to the position.

With Rantanen sizzling hot, he should be able to continue his success.

Thomas Chabot over 2.5 shots (-125)

Thomas Chabot is one of my favorite defenders to back for shots. He is such a willing shooter, and he has such a heavy workload that he's in play on a nightly basis regardless of opponent.

Chabot generated 35 shots on goal while attempting 58 over his last 10 games. He went over his shot total (2.5) eight times over the last nine contests.

I expect Chabot to make it nine in 10 in this sneaky-good spot against the St. Louis Blues. While they are a good defensive team, they give up a lot of volume to opposing defenders. Only four sides have allowed more shots to defensemen on a per-game basis.
