Blues vs. Penguins Player Prop Bets: NHL Prop Picks & Best Bets for Monday

My Blues vs. Penguins player props and NHL best bets focus on Pittsburgh's two leading scorers - Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin - while backing Jordan Kyrou to get on the scoresheet for St. Louis. 

I've also tossed in a bonus prop that features Pittsburgh's Anthony Mantha, who is thriving in his first nine games as a Pen. The Blues are the -120 moneyline betting favorite for tonight's game at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh (7 p.m., NHL Network).

💰 Best player props for Blues vs. Penguins

⬆️ Evgeni Malkin Over 0.5 assists (+120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Malkin is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance. After scoring just 50 points in 68 games last season, he has 14 points in 12 games to start the current campaign, 12 of which are assists.

He leads the Pens in scoring, three points ahead of Crosby. The 39-year-old has at least one assist in seven of nine games. He's on a four-game assists streak, notching six, making these +120 odds at DraftKings all the more appealing. 

Those odds imply a 45.45% probability, and a winning $10 bet will profit $12. 

⬆️ Jordan Kyrou Over 0.5 points (-140) ⭐⭐⭐

Kyrou is quietly having himself a solid start, entering tonight on a six-game point streak. He has six points in eight games, tied for second in team scoring behind Jake Neighbours, who has seven. 

Kyrou has also been productive against the Pens, posting four points in the previous four meetings. After a solid defensive start, the Pens allowed eight goals in the last two games, showing glimpses of last season's third-worst defense rearing its ugly head.

A winning $10 bet at BetMGM will yield a $7.14 profit, and the -140 odds carry an implied probability of 58.33%. 

⬆️ Anthony Mantha Over 0.5 points (+130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mantha is the beneficiary of playing beside Malkin, with whom he's formed superb chemistry. The 31-year-old has eight points in nine games, notching at least one point six times. He has five points in the previous four games, and all but one of his eight points have come at even strength. 

FanDuel's +130 odds are the best on offer, with DraftKings and BetMGM providing +115 odds. A winning $10 bet will profit $13. 

🥅 Best Blues vs. Penguins anytime goal scorer prediction

🔥 Sidney Crosby anytime goal scorer (+170) ⭐⭐⭐

Sid, the 38-year-old kid, continually defies the sands of time, with six goals in nine games to start the season. He didn't score last game but netted in the previous four, tallying all but one of his goals in that sample size.

Crosby, leading the Penguins in goals, faces a Blues team that is allowing the second-most goals per game (4.13) and the most per 60 minutes 5-on-5 (3.51).  

FanDuel and DraftKings offer the best price (+170) of the best sports betting sites, where a winning $10 bet will profit $17.
