Tuesday night has some really exciting NHL matchups with plenty of betting opportunities to cash in on player props. From anytime goalscorer picks to shot totals, we've found 5 of the best plays for tonight’s slate.
Here’s why these picks stand out from the rest and why you should take a look at them for your bet slip.
Player Prop Odds: +125
Leon Draisaitl continues to be the heart of the Edmonton Oilers' offense. That makes this matchup against the Senators a great opportunity for him to find the back of the net at some point during the game.
Draisaitl has scored in 4 of his last 5 road games and we don’t see him slowing down at all. That’s because Ottawa’s defense has struggled, allowing 3.12 goals per game.
With Edmonton looking to rebound from their recent losses, we expect Draisaitl to lead the charge in this matchup.
His ability to dominate on the power play (Edmonton has a 16.3% on the PP) only adds to his value in this spot.
At plus money, this is a solid pick for a player who consistently delivers the goals for the Oilers.
Player Prop Odds: -218
While the juice is steep, this is about as close to a lock as it gets.
Kyle Connor has been an absolute force for the Winnipeg Jets. He’s already racked up 22 points in 17 games. Facing a Florida Panthers team that has allowed 6+ total goals in 5 of their last 7 games, Connor should have no trouble adding to his overall point total.
Whether it’s an assist or even a goal, Connor’s top-line minutes and role on the power play unit make this an extremely reliable prop bet for tonight’s game.
Pair it in a parlay if you want to make the odds a bit more attractive. You might even take the Draisaitl anytime goal with this bet for a solid parlay.
Player Prop Odds: +100
Matthew Boldy is a high-volume shooter. There’s no denying that. The Minnesota Wild will rely on him heavily against the St. Louis Blues.
Boldy has hit the OVER on his shot total in 3 of his last 5 games, and the Blues allow an average of 32.8 shots per game. He takes the chances and sometimes even finds the back of the net.
Boldy’s offensive role will go even further with injuries to key teammates like Mats Zuccarello. With even money odds on this line, we think it’s worth backing Boldy to keep firing away.
Player Prop Odds: +175
The New York Islanders are up against a Calgary Flames team with inconsistent goaltending. This means Bo Horvat is a great value pick to light the lamp tonight.
Horvat has 10 goals in 18 games and leads the Islanders in power-play goals, making him a consistent scoring threat all the time.
Calgary’s defense ranks 8th overall, but they’ve struggled in transition and are fairly vulnerable to quick counters — Horvat’s bread and butter. If they slip up once, you know he’s going to notch a goal.
At +175, his upside outweighs the risk for this NHL prop bet.
Player Prop Odds: +160
Brady Tkachuk has been in great form at home as he’s scored in 5 of the last 6 games at the Canadian Tire Centre.
Mix that in with the Oilers’ PK ranking near the bottom of the league and their defensive struggles, this is a recipe for Tkachuk to grab a goal.
Ottawa relies on Tkachuk’s dominant physical play and finishing ability in front of the net. He’s absolutely ferocious. This is especially true in the power play, where he thrives.
This is another strong plus-money prop with a fairly decent likelihood of cashing in.
Tuesday’s NHL action offers plenty of betting opportunities for savvy bettors.
From Leon Draisaitl's goal-scoring potential to Brady Tkachuk's home dominance, these picks combine solid stats with some fairly favorable odds. Sprinkle some plus money props into your bets to boost the potential returns, and enjoy the action on the ice. Tonight is a great night for NHL prop bets.
