How often does an NHL player go over his shots on goal line?
One row per game with a player's shots on goal line, the price, how many shots he took and whether he went over. Auston Matthews went over in 27 of 49.
Code verified October 13, 2026. One call to get_prop_history, 10 credits.
The call
player_id comes from search_players. Other markets: points, goals, assists, blocked shots, goalie saves and anytime goal scorer.

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a key from your dashboard. Python needs requests and pandas (pip install requests pandas). JavaScript runs on Node 18 or newer, or in the browser.
