NHL bets: Two SOG props for Bruins vs. Maple Leafs

This Boston-Toronto series hasn't been my favorite for props, but when it's the only game on the calendar, you dig deep into some trends to see what comes up. I think both sides here should be good for 25+ shots on goal, and I wanted to nab a player on both ends.

Charlie Coyle over 1.5 SOG (-120 DraftKings)

Coyle has taken on top-line center duties for Boston, and he's averaged 20.45 minutes per game across his past two.

What really stood out to me was Coyle's involvement in Game 5. He launched nine attempts at net and logged four high-danger scoring chances. That's volume that I will happily back, especially when I see he's gone over this 1.5 SOG line in three of his last four.

Coyle has 2+ shots in seven of his past 10 on the road when skating for at least 19 minutes, and he now has 23 attempts across his past four. When he shoots the puck 3+ times, he's over this line in 70% of his games this season.

Count me in for some Coyle tonight, and hey, I may have sprinkled on his goal at +380. Just saying.

William Nylander over 3.5 SOG (-105 ESPN BET)

This one is a bit more straight-forward. Maybe Auston Matthews ends up playing, maybe he can't go again. Either way, Nylander should be the focal point of Toronto's offensive plans, and he likely knows it.

In two games this series, Nylander has attempted 20 shots, landing eight on net. The Leafs' star winger has 4+ shots in five of his last seven home playoff games, and he's landed on 5+ shots in five of his last eight in Toronto.

I'd love to offer a more revolutionary and unique take to this game, but I'm expecting an aggressive Leafs effort, and Nylander here is the most obvious choice in such a scenario.

Honorable mention to defenseman Morgan Rielly, who has 3+ shots in four straight games, and 7+ attempts in three straight.
