Shots-on-goal props: how the market prices them

Shots-on-goal is the most stable prop a hockey book offers, which is exactly why it is the hardest one to beat. Goals dry up for a month at a time. Shots do not. A top-line forward keeps firing whether the puck goes in or not, so the market sets a number it is rarely embarrassed by.

That stability is priced in. The number moves with ice time and power-play usage, not with form, and a book will sit on the same line for weeks if the role has not changed.

What to watch next

Look at the opponent, not the shooter. A team that concedes volume from the perimeter inflates every shots number on the ice, and a team that blocks lanes deflates them. That is where the line is slow.

Our odds feed carries game markets for the four opening-week fixtures and no player prices, so there is no Toronto shots number on this site to compare yet. When we can source props, they will be published with the book and the date we took them.

Bottom line

Bet the schedule and the opponent, not the name. If you are taking a shots-on-goal line because a player is good, you are paying for information the book had first.
