💰 Best player prop bets for Blackhawks vs. Lightning
Our NHL player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.
⬆️ Frank Nazar Over 0.5 points (+105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chicago is being led by its two young forwards, Connor Bedard and Nazar.
Nazar is tied with Bedard for the most team points, logging seven, including three goals. He is sitting with a solid 18:54 ATOI and has scored a goal in two of his previous three games. Now, he draws a matchup against Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has a 3.50 GAA, allowing 14 goals with a 0-2-2 record.
At +105 (48.78%), we’re getting a good price on Nazar to remain productive in the offensive zone. A $10 winning bet nets a $10.50 profit.
⬇️ Oliver Bjorkstrand Under 0.5 points (-125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm fading Tampa Bay’s third-line forward, Bjorkstrand. If you're looking for a Tampa player expected to wake up from his early-season slumber, check out Gary Pearson's NHL player props today.
Bjorkstrand has featured on the Lightning’s top power play unit but is getting under 15 minutes ATOI, resulting in a three-game point drought.
He won’t have an easy assignment against Chicago goaltender Spencer Knight, who has a sharp 1.96 GAA, allowing four goals in his last three starts. Bjorkstrand’s Under 0.5 points prop is available to bet at -125 odds (55.56%). A winning $10 bet yields $8 profit.

🔥 Ryan Donato anytime goal scorer (+380) ⭐⭐⭐
Donato offers the most value in the anytime goal scorer market. Chicago’s third-line forward scored all three of his goals in consecutive outings and has a ton of momentum.
It’s even better to back Donato to score a goal knowing that Vasilevskiy is playing poorly. The Lightning goaltender has tightened up a bit in his last two starts, but Donato is being undervalued to extend his goal-scoring streak.
The best available line on Donato’s anytime goal scorer prop is set to +380 odds (20.83%). A $10 winning bet on Donato returns $38 profit.
