⬇️ Jonathan Marchessault player prop: Under 0.5 shots (-190) ⭐⭐⭐

With just eight points through his first 23 games, Marchessault might be the Predators’ most disappointing player this season.

There haven’t been many recent signs of a potential turnaround, either. He’s gone without a point in 11 of Nashville’s last 13 games, generating just 1.7 expected goals during that stretch. His ice time has also been cut drastically, with the veteran seeing just 12 minutes of action in Saturday’s 6-3 loss to Carolina.

Facing a Colorado team that has allowed the fewest goals per game in the NHL, expect Marchessault’s struggles to continue tonight. BetMGM’s -190 odds on Marchessault Under 0.5 points imply a 65.52% chance he’s held pointless and return $5.26 profit on a $10 bet.

⬇️ Gabriel Landeskog player prop: Under 0.5 points (+120) ⭐⭐⭐

The Avalanche offense has been far less explosive this season on the road, where the Avs have managed three goals or less in six straight and nine of 12.

Landeskog’s home/road splits might be the most extreme of anyone on the team. He’s collected just three points in Colorado’s 16 games as the visitor, a drastic dropoff from his 11 points in 13 home games.

Those road struggles have continued on Colorado’s current trip, where Landeskog has been held pointless through the first three games. And while he ranks among the Avs leaders in shot attempts in recent action, he’s had just three unblocked attempts from high danger areas in his last 11 games, per Moneypuck.

Landeskog Under 0.5 points is available at +115 odds at most of the top NHL sportsbooks, with bet365 offering a slightly better price at +120. Those odds imply a 45.45% probability and can net $10 bettors a profit of $12.

🥅 Best Avalanche vs. Predators anytime goal scorer prediction

🔥 Michael Bunting anytime goal scorer (+550) ⭐⭐

On a team with Filip Forsberg, Ryan O’Reilly, Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, it might surprise you to learn that Bunting actually leads the Predators in expected goals over the past 10 games.

Bunting has racked up a total of 1.5 expected goals over his last three games and at least 0.3 expected goals in five of his last six, scoring three goals in those six contests. He also continues to get extensive time on Nashville’s top powerplay unit.

Most of the top NHL sportsbooks were offering Bunting anytime goal at +450 or better, including +470 at FanDuel. Once again, bet365 had an even better price for value hunters, paying +550 — providing the chance for a $55 profit on a $10 bet, with an implied probability of 15.38%.
