Our best NHL player props for Tuesday, April 14
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: David Rittich Over 23.5 saves
Although the Carolina Hurricanes are set to rest multiple players tonight, they will still pile up shots against New York Islanders backup netminder David Rittich.
Carolina leads the NHL in shots per game (33.1) and also tops the league in five-on-five Corsi For percentage since the calendar flipped to March.
Meanwhile, Rittich is well rested and turned aside 30 of 32 shots in his most recent start on March 14.

Prop #2: Leo Carlsson Over 2.5 shots
Anaheim Ducks star Leo Carlsson has recorded three or more shots in six of his past seven games.
Carlsson is also skating on the top line and first power-play unit, and the Anaheim Ducks are still battling for postseason seeding ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Minnesota Wild.
I also particularly value Carlsson sporting an elite 65.8 Corsi For percentage during the highlighted seven-game stretch.

Prop #3: Brandt Clarke Over 1.5 shots
Los Angeles Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke has seen a dip in his shots with just six across his past five games, but he’s still recorded 18 attempts during the stretch.
Clarke continues to see power-play time and sports a 57.5% shot rate at five-on-five, so I expect him to pick up two or more in a favorable matchup against the Vancouver Canucks.
Vancouver has allowed the sixth-most shots per game (29.4) while ranking 30th in Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5 since March 1.
