I'm offering my three best Bruins vs. Capitals player props for tonight's Eastern Conference matchup at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. (7:30 p.m. ET on TNT).
I'm targeting Boston star David Pastrnak among my NHL picks as the Bruins look to put a disappointing 2024-25 season behind them, though Washington is a -190 betting favorite to win tonight.

💰 Best player prop bets for Bruins vs. Capitals
Our NHL player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.
⬆️ David Pastrnak Over 3.5 shots (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
David Pastrnak's 2024-25 campaign flew under the radar given the lack of team success, and he's a Hart Trophy odds dark horse entering this season.
He ranked top five in goals and points and tallied his third straight 100-point season. Beyond his scoring success, he consistently put the puck toward the net all season-long.
Pastrnak ranked second in the league in total shots on goal last season, finishing with just one fewer than top-ranked Nathan MacKinnon.
Though 3.5 is tied for the highest total in the game with Alex Ovechkin, Pastrnak has much better odds (+110 compared to Ovechkin's -115)
Head to DraftKings for the best odds on this prop among our best sports betting sites, where a $10 wager would net an $11 profit at an implied probability of 47.62%.
⬆️ Dylan Strome Over 0.5 assists (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
With a spot on the first line and Washington's top power-play unit, center Dylan Strome will have plenty of opportunity to set up his teammates for a score tonight.
As Alex Ovechkin's go-to setup man, Strome totaled a career-high 53 assists amid a breakout season a year ago.
At BetMGM's -115 odds (53.49% implied probability), we'll net an $8.70 profit if Strome tallies at least one assist against the Bruins.
⬇️ Logan Thompson Under 22.5 saves (-130) ⭐⭐⭐
This bet has nothing to do with Logan Thompson's quality (he ranked top 10 in save percentage and goals against average last season). Rather, it's a wager against a Bruins team that really struggled to put shots on goal last season.
Boston ranked 29th out of 32 teams in total SOG in 2024-25. So even though we're backing Pastrnak to go Over his shots total, I don't think the Bruins as a team will keep Thompson too busy tonight.
Thompson Under 22.5 saves can be found at -130 odds at BetMGM, where a $10 bet would win $7.69. It has an implied probability of 56.52%.
