Season Record: 52-46, +9.01 (Bonus not included in record)
I think we picked up nearly 10 units on bonus bets alone on Tuesday, so I’m still going to list them. The reason I list three official picks is because I don’t want to confuse anyone with too many picks. I also feel strong about my bonus picks but they are longer shots. If you’re looking for more be sure to check out our Pick Tracker.
The Best NHL Prop Bets
Roope Hintz Over 2.5 SOG
(-114, BetRivers)
Hintz’s shot prop was the first play I put in our Bet Tracker Thursday morning. He checks in riding a three-game goal streak, and he’s racked up 16 shots on goal over that span. Since Jan. 1, the Blackhawks have allowed the fourth most shots and attempts at 5v5/60, according to Natural Stat Trick. Believe it or not, Chicago enters with a weaker roster having traded Patrick Kane and Jake McCabe earlier this week. I listed a few more props from this game that I like as I have my eye on Evgenii Dadanov who has picked up points in both of his games with Dallas.
Bonus
- Jason Robertson Over 3.5 SOG (-125, BetRivers)
- Evgenii Dadonov Point (+106, FanDuel Sportsbook)
- Evgenii Dadonov Assist (+205, FanDuel Sportsbook) 0.50 units
- Joe Pavelski & Roope Hintz Points SGP (+100, Bet365)
- Max Domi Over 2.5 SOG (-136, BetRivers)
Anton Lundell Point
(-124, FanDuel Sportsbook)
The odds have changed a bit since Thursday morning, but this is still a decent price for a player skating in a top six role on a team that has the highest goal implied total on the slate. I jumped all over the Panthers puck line at +140 this morning as I feel they’ll win this game by a couple of goals. Nashville has traded several pieces in their top six this week along with defenseman Mattias Ekholm. They’re also without two veteran forwards in Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen. On top of that, backup goalie Kevin Lankinen is expected to start. Lundell scored a goal in his last game filling in on the top line with Aleksander Barkov sidelined. Barkov won’t play again.
Bonus
- Anton Lundell Assist (+160, DraftKings Sportsbook) 0.50 units
- Carter Verhaeghe & Anthony Duclair Points SGP (+165, Bet365)
Patrick Kane Assist
(+102, FanDuel Sportsbook)
Kane will make his Rangers debut at home against the Ottawa Senators. I actually like the Sens as a dog due to the fact they are rolling and New York will turn to Jaroslav Halak on the second half of a back to back. With that said, it’s hard to ignore plus money on Kane’s assist prop. Kane will suit up on a line with his former teammate Artemi Panarin. I know Kane isn’t the same player he was in 2015 and 2016 when he played with Panarin in Chicago, but those two combined for 141 goals and 346 points in their two seasons together. I’m expecting fireworks in this game, which is great for Bet365 users.
Bonus
- Brady Tkachuk Over 3.5 SOG (+110, BetRivers)
- Patrik Kane & Artemi Panarin Points SGP (-110, Bet365)
- Brady Tkachuk, Claude Giroux & Tim Stutzle Points SGP (+200, Bet365)
- Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider & Vladimir Tarasenko Points SGP (+280, Bet365)
I have several more props to consider from Thursday’s episode of Mean Streets.
