Best NHL Player Prop Bets Today
Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprizov over 1.5 Points (+155) BetMGM
We should distinguish point total props from goal-scoring props by identifying the increased means of accumulating points. One can gain a point by scoring but also by achieving assists. Kirill Kaprizov is an ideal player for this type of prop bet because he is proving himself to be a very balanced player. On the season, he has five goals and five assists. As his team’s co-leader in points, I find that the over 1.5 points has great value at plus odds. If his team sees success offensively, he is sure to be very involved. I like Kaprizov today against a New Jersey team that, while hot in general, hasn’t been so hot in every respect. New Jersey’s defense has allowed multiple goals in all of its games but one, positioning Kaprizov to accumulate points today.
Detroit’s Alex DeBrincat over 0.5 Points (-175) BetMGM
While this is a chalky bet, we only need a point from Alex DeBrincat, and you can just reduce your wager size a bit if the chalk bothers you. This is a special situation for DeBrincat with fellow right wing Patrick Kane, who has two goals and three assists on the season, sidelined due to injury. DeBrincat is already getting plenty of shooting volume – he has 20 shots thus far. He scored 39 goals last season, so he is easily due to score a goal. But even while his shots aren’t finding the back of the net, he is excelling at setting up his teammates. So far, he has six assists.
Montreal’s Juraj Slafkovsky under 0.5 Point (-110) BetMGM
Juraj Slafkovsky doesn’t get enough volume to be expected to manage a point. While it might seem like he has a good chance to get a point against Calgary, Calgary’s goals allowed total is slated to improve. The Flames are allowing nearly six fewer expected goals than actual goals. This disparity between expected and actual goals indicates that Calgary’s goals allowed total will drop because the Flames are actually doing a good job of limiting goal-scoring opportunities. Slafkovsky’s rare points this year have come mainly in higher-scoring affairs, so the actual quality of Calgary’s defense is relevant. Plus, Slafkovsky has failed to manage a point even in games that were high-scoring.
