Meier's established shooting volume and first-unit power-play role give him multiple routes to three shots.
269 SOG · 77 GAMES — Meier recorded 269 shots in 77 games last season, giving him a substantial volume base rather than a goal-dependent route to this result. Repeated attempts can cash the prop even when the goaltender stops every shot.
25 SOG · 6 GAMES · PP1 — Meier's six-game total is 25 shots, and he is deployed with Hischier and Mercer plus the first power-play unit. Those assignments provide both even-strength possessions and extra-man chances to add attempts.
The Rangers can clog the middle and turn Meier's attempts into blocks or misses. A New Jersey lead can also reduce his late attacking shifts before he reaches three recorded shots.
Settlement Rule: CASHES TIMO MEIER FULL GAME SHOTS ON GOAL OVER 2.5 WITH THREE OR MORE RECORDED SHOTS; NO PUSH AT 2.5.

Meier's established shooting workload can clear a three-shot requirement without relying on a rebound in finishing.
Counter-Case: Dallas can force his line to dump the puck and deny the second chances that turn zone time into shots. Extended first-unit power plays can leave his group little useful time, while a quiet, low-tempo game can strand him below three shots on net.
Meier's shooting frequency can carry him to three shots even without first-unit power-play minutes.
Counter-Case: A defensive assignment for the Hischier line can take away Meier's offensive-zone shifts. His shorter workload and second-unit power-play position leave less recovery time after a low-volume opening period.
Meier's established shooting volume and first-unit power-play role give him multiple routes to three shots.
Counter-Case: The Rangers can clog the middle and turn Meier's attempts into blocks or misses. A New Jersey lead can also reduce his late attacking shifts before he reaches three recorded shots.
Meier's established individual shot rate supports three shots even after an Ottawa matchup adjustment.
Counter-Case: Ottawa's shot suppression can hold the entire Devils attack below its usual attempt volume. A lead protected through the final period could leave Meier on two shots.
