💰 Best player props for Avalanche vs. Golden Knights
⬆️ Nathan MacKinnon Over 3.5 shots (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Only Buffalo's Tage Thompson has more shots on goal than Nathan MacKinnon (4.45 per game).
The Hart Trophy odds favorite has gone Over this total in more than 70% of his games this season and in each of his last five head-to-head matchups versus the Golden Knights over the last two-plus years.
FanDuel is offering incredible -114 odds here, though I still would have placed a wager at the -120 odds the other best sports betting sites are offering. A $10 bet would net $8.77 in profit with an implied probability of 53.27%.
⬆️ Mitch Marner Over 1.5 points (+175) ⭐⭐⭐
Points have come in bunches for Mitch Marner this season.
Though the new Golden Knights star has been held pointless in four of 10 games, he tallied two points in each of the six other contests.
I expect plenty of goals in a matchup between two of the league's top-four offenses - let's back one of the sport's best passers to be heavily involved in that.
While most of the best sports betting apps have this line set at 0.5 with the Over predictably at negative-money odds, I'd rather bet on Marner to have a multi-point day at +175 (36.6%) at Caesars. A winning $10 bet will profit $17.50.
🥅 Best Avalanche vs. Golden Knights anytime goal scorer prediction
🔥 Martin Necas anytime goal scorer (+220) ⭐⭐⭐
Fresh off signing a new eight-year, $92-million deal with Colorado, Avalanche right winger Martin Necas is my favorite goal scorer prediction for today's game.
He has seven goals this season, second on the team behind MacKinnon, and leads Colorado with an impressive 31.8% shooting percentage. Necas is on pace for a career-best season in 2025-26, and we're getting great odds on a score from him on Friday.
While other top sportsbooks have this prop at +190, FanDuel is offering a generous +220 (31.25%). We'll profit $22 on a $10 bet if Necas finds twine in Las Vegas.
