Our NHL player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.
🔥 Mika Zibanejad, RW, Rangers (+225) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Although the Rangers were surprisingly shut out in their first game against the Penguins, Zibanejad led New York with seven shots on net.
If he continues that aggressive approach, I expect him to break through with a score against the Sabres tonight. Buffalo goaltender Alex Lyon ranked 35th in save percentage and 30th in goals against average among goalies who played at least 25 games last season.
DraftKings has the best odds for a Zibanejad anytime goal at +225, which carry an implied probability of 30.77%. A winning $10 bet would bring home a $22.50 profit.
🔥 Dylan Guenther, RW, Mammoth (+230) ⭐⭐⭐
Dylan Guenther ranked second on Utah with 27 goals last year despite playing in only 70 games.
And he likely has a favorable matchup tonight against Colorado goalie Scott Wedgewood, who is playing his second game in three days. Guenther scored twice against Wedgewood in their only meeting last season, and I like his chances to beat the Avs netminder again tonight.
Guenther's +230 odds at FanDuel translate to an implied probability of 30.30%, with a $10 bet netting a $23 profit.

🔥 Cole Caufield, RW, Canadiens (+195) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cole Caufield was kept off the score sheet in Wednesday's season-opening loss to Toronto, but I'm backing him to light the lamp on the road in Detroit.
The 24-year-old led the Habs in goals last season (37), with 24 of those coming away from the Bell Centre. Let's place a wager on Caufield to get his first of the season at Little Caesars Arena.
Head to FanDuel for the best odds on a Caufield anytime goal, where a $10 bet would win $19.50 at an implied probability of 33.90%.
🔥 Ivan Barbashev, LW, Golden Knights (+275) ⭐⭐⭐
Ivan Barbashev could very well be part of the best forward line in the entire NHL this season alongside Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner. The trio already combined for two goals at even strength in the opener against the Kings, including a marker from Barbashev.
There's a good chance the Sharks get run off the ice tonight by a dominant Golden Knights offense. Look for Barbashev to be a big part of that.
Our Gary Pearson took a different route in attacking this mismatch, taking a Pavel Dorofeyev anytime goal in his best NHL player props today. Dorofoyev scored a hat trick Wednesday night.
DraftKings gives Ivan Barbashev a 26.67% to find the back of the net with +275 odds. Head there to place your $10 bet, which will profit $27.50 if successful.
