While the NHL playoff picture is set, Tuesday's slate is far from meaningless. With crucial seeding battles on the line, the intensity on the ice remains high. For those looking to add an extra layer of excitement to the night's games, we've analyzed the matchups and identified three standout player prop bets with compelling value.

First, look for the Carolina Hurricanes to continue their relentless offensive style. Even with potential rest for some stars, Carolina leads the league in shots per game and has dominated puck possession metrics since March. Facing backup goaltender David Rittich and a New York Islanders team with little to play for, expect the Hurricanes' shot volume to hit the over.

Our spotlight pick centers on Anaheim Ducks' young star, Leo Carlsson. The talented forward has been a shooting machine lately, logging three or more shots in six of his last seven contests. Anchored on the top line and first power-play unit, Carlsson is the focal point of an Anaheim offense fighting for optimal playoff positioning against the Minnesota Wild. His elite underlying possession numbers suggest this hot streak is no fluke.

Finally, target Los Angeles Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke to bounce back. While his shots on goal have dipped slightly, his shot attempts remain high. He retains his role on the power play and faces a favorable matchup against the Vancouver Canucks, a team that has struggled defensively, allowing a high volume of shots and ranking near the bottom in possession since the start of March. Expect Clarke to find his shooting lanes and record multiple shots tonight.
