Definition of Shots on Goal O/U

What is the definition of the term "Shots on Goal O/U"? What is meant by the term "Shots on Goal O/U"?

"Shots on Goal O/U" refers to a type of player prop bet in hockey where you wager on whether a specific player will register over or under a set number of shots on goal during a game. The "O/U" stands for "Over/Under," and the betting line is usually accompanied by decimal odds.

A "shot on goal" is officially counted when a player directs the puck toward the net and it either results in a goal or requires the goalie to make a save. Missed shots, blocked shots, or attempts that hit the post and don't go in are not counted.

For example:

Aleksander Barkov has a Shots on Goal O/U line of 1.5. If you take the Over at 1.50, you're betting that he will register 2 or more shots on goal. If he finishes with only 1 shot, the bet loses.

Matthew Tkachuk has a line of 2.5, with the Under priced at 1.60. If you bet the Under and he finishes with 2 or fewer shots on goal, your bet wins.

This market is especially popular with bettors who follow player trends, usage, and shot volume. It's commonly found in both single-game and Same Game Parlay (SGP) formats.
