We're nearly two weeks removed from the NHL All-Star break and therefore all teams and players are back in the swing of things. With two weeks of fresh data to formulate our positions, we've compiled a NHL shot prop parlay using the latest NHL odds.

NHL player shot props have become much more widely available among the most popular sportsbooks and here at Sportsbook Review, we've made it a habit of taking advantage of some juicy lines.

You'll notice a trend in our NHL shot prop parlays: We target the teams with the most shots on goal allowed per game. For example, the Columbus Blue Jackets allow the third most shots against per game this season at 35.04 per contest. Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo saw 38 shots in Thursday's game against the Winnipeg Jets and Jets stars Kyle Connor (eight shots), Pierre-Luc Dubois (four), Nikolaj Ehlers (five), and Mark Scheifele (four) all hit the Over on their shot props.

There are only five NHL games on the schedule Friday, but there's a number of red-hot shooters taking the ice and looking to keep up their torrid pace.

Here are our NHL shot prop parlay picks for Friday (odds via Caesars Sportsbook).

NHL shot parlay predictions

Brady Tkachuk Over 3.5 shots (-135)

We're targeting one of the league leaders in shots and one of the teams that allow the most shots against per game. Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk ranks sixth in the league in shots with 223 on the season.

We'll have to pay up to add Tkachuk to our parlay after he sent nine shots at the New York Islanders' net on Tuesday. He entered the All-Star break by taking four shots in three consecutive games and has clearly returned to form with his two-point night against the Isles. 

The Chicago Blackhawks see an average of 33.62 shots on net per game and were peppered with 42 shots from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Tkachuk should see little resistance from the Hawks.

Brock Nelson Over 3.5 shots (+116)

You may be surprised to see an Islander in a shot-prop parlay, but center Brock Nelson has been on fire of late. Not only does Nelson have goals in his last three games, he's also taken at least five shots in each of those contests. 

The Islanders face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday, a team that averages 34.04 shots against per game. The Pens are so down bad they were outshot 39-28 by the woeful San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.

Look for Nelson to keep his hot streak going against a porous Penguins defense.

Kevin Fiala Over 3.5 shots (-113)

The Los Angeles Kings face the team that allows the most shots on goal per game: the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks average a shade under 40 shots against per game (39.16). To make matters worse, they've averaged 47.3 shots allowed in their last three games. That includes allowing an absurd 59 shots from the Pittsburgh Penguins (in regulation!) last Friday.

The Kings sent 41 shots on net in their last meeting with the Ducks on Dec. 20. Winger Kevin Fiala had seven shots in that game.

Artemi Panarin Over 2.5 shots (-123)

We'll stray a little from our formula with our last pick as the Edmonton Oilers don't rank in the top 10 in shots allowed per game, but we can't ignore the recent play of New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin.

The Breadman scored four goals on five shots against the Carolina Hurricanes last Saturday and added two goals on four shots against the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday. 

The Rangers have scored six goals in each of the three games since acquiring Vladimir Tarasenko. If they keep that scoring tear up in what could be a shootout against the Oilers, expect Panarin to play a central role.

We're building today's shot parlay at Caesars, which is slightly more profitable than at FanDuel.

Caesars has the lowest juice on Tkachuk (who is as high as -160 at PointsBet), but Nelson carries +126 odds to hit the Over at FanDuel.
