We’ve got a six-game slate for Sunday’s NHL card, and that means there are plenty of opportunities for value. Right now, we’re going to be focusing on player props, bringing you a few of our favorite props. Before you bet these, make sure you also check out our picks on the side and total for every game.

Yegor Sharangovich Over 2 Shots on Goal (-130)

It is pretty easy to see that New Jersey is not a good team this season. They are seventh in the East Division and will be facing a Washington team today that they still have not beaten this year. We do not see that changing either as the Capitals have been far too strong. However, we are going to go to this New Jersey team to back a player. That being Yegor Sharangovich to just have shots on goal. He is fourth on the team with 68 shots on goal, but we only need two here for a push. Sharangovich has cashed this prop in four of the last seven games with three pushes as well. As a result, look for at least a couple of shots to be on goal from Sharangovich.

Carter Verhaeghe Over 2 Shots on Goal (-158)

After Jonathan Huberdeau failed to cash his shots on goal prop last night, we are going right back the this Florida Panthers team with a different player. This time we are looking at Carter Verhaeghe to have shots on goal as well. He is fifth on the team with 92 shots on goal, but is leading the team with 17 goals scored. Verhaeghe has had at least two shots on goal or more in eight of the last 10 games, so a push at the very least seems likely. Although with his goal scoring ability, he should be able to do to get us over this mark.

Dougie Hamilton Over 3 Shots on Goal (+104)

The Carolina Hurricanes have emerged as a very good team and will look to keep pace with Tampa Bay and Florida in the Central Division. To do that, they will take on a Dallas team they really has not been good. The Stars did beat the Hurricanes on Saturday, but we fully expect a bounce back today. For this game, we are going to go with a Carolina player to put plenty of shots on goal. That player being Dougie Hamilton. He is leading the team with 120 shots on goal and is averaging 3.33 shots on goal per game. Hamilton just had nine shots on goal against Dallas yesterday and is averaging 4.2 shots on goal against Dallas this season. Given the fact that we like a Carolina win by a few goal, we expect Hamilton is going to pressure the Dallas goalie enough to cash this prop.
