The Best NHL Prop Bets

Matthew Knies Point

(-130, BetMGM)

Knies is quietly off to a good start in his third season in the NHL. The winger has seven goals and 10 points through 16 games. He’s been rewarded with extra ice time under Toronto’s new coaching regime as the winger is averaging 17:58 per game, up from 13:41 in his sophomore season. Auston Matthews is doubtful against the Ottawa Senators, so Knies will stick on the top power play. He has three power play points in his past three games. It looks like the PP has turned the corner in Toronto, despite Matthews’ absence. Meanwhile, the Senators check in with the 13th-worst PK in the league (76.9%).

Bonus

William Nylander O 3.5 SOG (-130,DraftKings)
Knies Power Play Point (+400, BetMGM)
Max Domi Point (+110, DraftKings)

Jeff Skinner Over 2.5 SOG

(-110, DraftKings Sportsbook)

Skinner only has three goals and six points through his first 15 games in Edmonton. He was recently promoted to the top line with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman, but he still enters tonight without a point over his last three games. However, he’s a volume shooter and there’s still time to turn things around, especially playing with those two forwards. While he isn’t scoring, Skinner has at least three shots on goal in two of his past three games and nine of his last 13.

Bonus

Jeff Skinner Point (+130,DraftKings)

Gabriel Vilardi Point

(-135, DraftKings Sportsbook)

Vilardi and the Winnipeg Jets are too hot to ignore right now. They’re the first team in NHL history to win 14 of their first 15 games. They rank first in goals per game (4.47) and first in goals against per game (2.07). The New York Rangers are just behind them as they’ve only allowed 2.31 goals per game. However, the Jets’ top line is cooking and there’s value when it comes to Vilardi’s point prop and shot prop. The winger has five goals and nine points over a current seven game point streak. He has at least three shots on goal in six straight games. Only the Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins have allowed more shots against at 5v5/60 according to Natural Stat Trick. New York has also allowed the fourth-most shot attempts at 5v5/60.
