There are plenty of different props to choose from on PrizePicks, and there’s a lot of money to be made. You can pick your choice of CBB, NBA, PGA, MMA, tennis, soccer and more. As you’ll see below, I’ll be focusing on the NHL.
Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production.
How to play PrizePicks NHL
The format is simple. You pick two, three or four players and predict whether they will go over or under their projected fantasy point total.
When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:
- Two-pick entry pays 2.5x (max entry: $400)
- Three-pick entry pays 5x (max entry: $200)
- Four-pick entry pays 10x (max entry: $100)
As a bonus offer, there is a “flex play” option if you choose to run a four-man parlay. This will provide some security, as you can earn 1.5x your buy-in if three of your four picks hit.
Below are my top PrizePicks for Thursday’s slate in the NHL. I will be mixing and matching my pick combinations from the pool below, with my favorite combinations also included.

NHL PrizePicks for today
Here's a look at my favorite picks on PrizePicks Thursday.
Sidney Crosby OVER 4 points
Crosby’s over hit Wednesday at 3.6 and even with the bump to four fantasy points, I think we can go back to the over. He scored a goal on seven shots and added an assist against the Sabres who lost their 15th straight game. Buffalo remains extremely weak in goal as they’re down to their fourth-string goalie and they’re completely checked out on defense. Crosby has six goals and 13 points in his past 10 games, and he has 27 shots on goal in his last five games.
Mika Zibanejad OVER 3.4 points
After a very cold start to the season, Zibanejad has picked his game up as he enters Thursday’s game against the Flyers with four goals and 11 points in his past six games. He scored a hat trick and finished with six points in a game against Philadelphia last week. The Flyers have allowed the second-most goals at 5v5 per 60 minutes this season, so this is a plus matchup for NYR. They scored 14 goals in two games against them last week. Zibanejad has 15 shots in his last three games as his confidence is starting to grow.
All my picks:
- Sidney Crosby (4 points) — OVER
- Mika Zibanejad (3.4 points) — OVER
Marc-Andre Fleury (27.5 saves) — OVER - Artemi Panarin (2 shots) — OVER
- Jamie Benn (2.6 points) — UNDER
- Dylan Larkin (2.5 points) — OVER
- Cam Atkinson (3.1 points) — UNDER
- David Perron (2 SOG) — OVER
- Steven Stamkos (2.5 points) — OVER
- Gabriel Landeskog (2.5 SOG) — OVER
