NHL Shot Prop Picks, Predictions for Tuesday: Boldy a Matchup Nightmare For Canadiens
It’s a busy 10-game slate in the NHL on Tuesday, and Minnesota Wild winger Matthew Boldy is a top pick to clear his shot total against the Montreal Canadiens. Check out our top NHL shot prop picks for Tuesday.
I’m beginning to notice far fewer plus-money odds in the shot-prop markets for players to go Over their total. Additionally, it’s typical for teams to tidy up defensively as the NHL season moves into November, so I’m going to be more willing to pay a vig when the matchup is right for high-volume shooters.
Here are our top NHL shot-prop picks for Tuesday, Oct. 25 (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
Top NHL Shot Prop Picks for Tuesday
NHL Shot Prop Predictions
Tkachuk Over 3.5 shots (+120 via DraftKings) ★★★
This sets up as a plus-matchup for Tkachuk to continue firing rubber. The Chicago Blackhawks have allowed the seventh-most shot attempts per 60 minutes and have the fifth-worst Corsi For percentage at five-on-five.
Tkachuk, meanwhile, has registered at least four shots in every game this season with 29 total on 49 attempts through six contests. He has also dominated possession with a 61.5 Corsi For percentage at five-on-five for the campaign and skates with the No. 1 power-play unit.
Jenner Over 2.5 shots (-140 via FanDuel) ★★★
Jenner has cooled down the past two games with just three shots and six attempts. However, this is a bounce-back spot with the Arizona Coyotes sporting the worst Corsi For percentage in the league at five-on-five and surrendering the sixth-most shot attempts per 60 minutes.
The Columbus Blue Jackets captain went Over this total in each of the first five games of the season, so I’m confident his go-to role will pave the way for Jenner to clear this total Tuesday.
Boldy Over 2.5 shots (+100 via DraftKings) ★★★
The shot-prop markets are beginning to catch up to Boldy, as he was trading at much higher odds earlier this season to go Over 2.5 shots. Still, this is a fair price, and the 21-year-old winger is emerging as a dominant talent.
Boldly has the highest Corsi For percentage on the Wild with a 58.2 mark at five-on-five, and he’s cleared this shot total in four of five games this season. While the Montreal Canadiens don’t stand out as an opponent to target in this market to start the season, the Habs are trading as high as +180 underdogs at FanDuel, and I anticipate Minnesota dominating the play and Boldy showing off at the Bell Centre.
