NHL Tuesday player props: 3 shooters to target

Monday was another good night for our player props picks. The double dip with the Dallas Stars proved successful, as both Jason Robertson and Miro Heiskanen went over their shot totals.

The Alex Tuch play also looked like a winner after he hit three early in the final period, but he had a shot taken away well after the game, leaving us one shy of a 3-0 night.

Let's keep the ball rolling with three more plays for Tuesday's slate.

Mitch Marner over 2.5 shots (-130)

Marner has been shooting the puck a lot of late. The ultra-talented winger picked up at least three shots on goal in eight of his last 10 games, averaging a healthy 3.6.

Marner generated five shots on goal and attempted a whopping 10 shots when he faced the Tampa Bay Lightning during this hot spell.

Shooting success against the Lightning is nothing new for Marner. He recorded at least three shots in eight of his last 12 against Tampa Bay.

This game should come down to the wire, meaning Marner is likely to see a full workload of more than 20 minutes. Look for him to make the most of it.

Kevin Fiala over 2.5 shots (-145)

I love, love, love Fiala in this spot. The Los Angeles Kings' prized acquisition is lethal shooting the puck - especially at home. He generated at least three shots on goal in 10 consecutive games played in Los Angeles.

Now he draws a date with a putrid Anaheim Ducks team that can't defend a lick. The Ducks rank 31st in five-on-five attempts against per 60 for the season and 32nd over the last 10 games. They're truly miserable.

Fiala has taken advantage of them time after time in recent years, hitting the over in 10 of his last 12 meetings and six straight overall.

Look for him to have a big night.

Kevin Hayes over 2.5 shots (-120)

Say what you will about Hayes' effort levels or defensive play - John Tortorella clearly has concerns - but the guy can create offense.

He generated 32 shots on goal and 60 attempts over the last nine games. Those are impressive outputs, especially since he was benched for a large chunk of one of them.

Hayes has been Philadelphia's most consistent shot generator. Fresh off a healthy scratch, you can bet he'll be looking to make an impact in his return to the lineup.

A matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets is certainly a prime opportunity to do just that. They rank dead last in five-on-five shot suppression this season and are playing in the latter part of a road back-to-back with what feels like half of their roster missing.

Hayes should be able to put his stamp on this game and have a strong offensive showing.
