The Best NHL Prop Bets
Alexis Lafreniere Point
(-135, DraftKings Sportsbook)
We will take this number for Lafreniere to get a point every time we see it, no matter the matchup. Washington has an improved defensive core, but the Vincent Trocheck, Artemi Panarin, and Lafreniere line has been one of the best 5v5 lines in hockey since last season. Lafreniere has four goals and eight points in eight games, and he’s hit the score sheet in every game but one. The winger had four points in a four-game sweep in the playoffs against the Capitals last season. New York outscored Washington 15-7.
Bonus
Artemi Panarin O 1.5 Points (+124, DraftKings)
New York Rangers ML (-150, Bet365)
Kirill Kaprizov Over 1.5 Points
(+120, DraftKings Sportsbook)
Kaprizov has a ridiculous 15 points in eight games this season. He has at least two points in five straight games and six of his last seven games. The Penguins are in for another long season as they return home after a four-game west coast trip where they lost all four games. They’ve lost five in a row and been outscored 22-10. The Pens are essentially a one-line team with Bryan Rust sidelined due to a lower-body injury.
Bonus
Joel Eriksson Ek Point (-145, DraftKings)
Joel Erksson Ek O 2.5 SOG (-154, DraftKings)
Marco Rossi Point (-105, Bet365)
Minnesota ML (-120, Bet365)
Cole Caufield Point
(-135, DraftKings Sportsbook)
I’m pretty surprised we’re getting this price for Caufield to pick up a point, especially since he has nine points in nine games. Eight of those points have been goals, and he’ll cool off eventually, but I’ll keep going back to this until he does. I think the Habs are live as home dogs at +150 as the Kraken enter tonight’s game on a three-game losing streak. I was originally going to suggest Kirby Dach for a point at +100, and I still like that, but I expect Juraj Slafkovsky to return, which only helps Caufield and the offense.
Bonus
Jared McCann O 2.5 SOG (-143, BetRivers)
Jared McCann Point (-154, DraftKings)
Juraj Slafkovsky Point (-120, BetMGM)
Jordan Eberle Point (-110, BetMGM)
Kirby Dach Point (+100, DraftKings)
Jake Neighbours Over 2.5 SOG
(+170, Bet365)
Neighbours is undervalued in the betting market and fantasy hockey. He’s a great asset for your team, especially in leagues with hits as he has 16 in his past five games. He has goals in back-to-back games and four of his past five matchups. He also has three shots on goal in back-to-back games, and at least two in six straight. With Robert Thomas sidelined, he’s in for more power play time. I’d be interested in taking him for a point, but I’m not seeing a prop for him yet.
Bonus
Josh Norris Point (-135, DraftKings)
