There are six games on the NHL betting docket for Tuesday night as much of the sports world tunes in, with the other three major sports on break. Because of this unfamiliarity, there should be plenty of value to be had and likely a lot of action on heavy favorites, which makes using Awesemo’s OddsShopper all the more useful. There are only a few big names on the night’s schedule, but it should be a fun one for NHL picks.

Islanders Puckline vs. Kraken : +1.5 (+190)
The Islanders match up against one of the league’s worst teams in Seattle, as the expansion franchise has struggled to do much of anything well. The Islanders (18-20-7) are also very bad, with an offense that ranks in the bottom half across the board. So this bet is much more about the value and the amount of return, as there is no puckline bet with a lower hold percentage on the night — just 0.6%. And even though there is not much to get excited about with this matchup, the Islanders are still carrying a higher expected goal total and expected goal percentage at even strength on the year.
It is a little surprising to see the line so high with the Kraken on the back end of a back-to-back after losing in Vancouver last night handily. It may be due to the last meeting between these two, which the Kraken won 3-0 in New York.

David Perron Over 2.5 Shots on Goal vs. Flyers (+140)
Getting promoted back to the Blues top line puts David Perron in a fantastic spot against the hapless Flyers. In comparison to all other player props on the schedule, Perron carries the best return and a projection over the current prop line — projecting for 2.55 shots. Getting extended run on the ice with what is considered to be the team’s shutdown line, his ice time looks secure after seeing a near three-minute bump last game.
Along with a plus possession matchup for the Blues, they are also catching the Flyers on the second of a back-to-back, which saw them to lose in overtime to the Hurricanes. They should control much of the puck in this one and should have zero issues getting chances against a bottom-five defensive team across the board in every shooting metric.
