My best Bruins vs. Golden Knights player props explore the top NHL picks for this marquee interconference matchup.

I'm targeting Jack Eichel, David Pastrnak, and Morgan Geekie while favoring the Stanley Cup odds contender Golden Knights. Vegas is the -225 betting favorite ahead of 10 p.m. ET puck drop at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+).

💰 Best player prop bets for Bruins vs. Golden Knights

Our NHL player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

⬆️ Jack Eichel Over 1.5 points (+135) ⭐⭐⭐

Golden Knights star forward Jack Eichel has tallied two points each in three straight games against the Bruins. The former Boston University star is also tied for the league lead in points with nine through his first four appearances this season.

Yes, he's facing an in-form Jeremy Swayman in Boston's net. But Vegas' No. 1 line and top power-play unit are too dangerous to be shut down right now. Back the Hart Trophy odds contender to continue piling up points at home tonight.

The best sports betting sites are mostly aligned at +135 odds on Eichel's points total, but I'm heading to Caesars to place my bet. A $10 wager will bring home $13.50 in potential profit with an implied probability of 42.55%, according to our odds calculator.

Our Gary Pearson is targeting Vegas' Mitch Marner for a multi-point night instead in his NHL player props today.


⬇️ David Pastrnak Under 3.5 shots on goal (-120) ⭐⭐⭐

Bruins winger David Pastrnak has gone Under this total in three of his last five games versus the Golden Knights, two of which came in Vegas.

The Golden Knights are doing a solid job limiting shots against (10th-best in the NHL) and staying out of the penalty box (fourth-fewest power-play opportunities against), meaning Pastrnak might not get many good opportunities to test the Vegas netminder.

I like DraftKings' generous -120 odds (54.55% implied probability) for the Under on 3.5 shots tonight. Head there to place your $10 wager, which would net $8.33 in profit.

🔥 Morgan Geekie anytime goal scorer (+230) ⭐⭐⭐

Boston winger Morgan Geekie has scored in each of the last three games he's played in Vegas, with five overall during that span. One of those came last season against Akira Schmid, the Golden Knights' expected starter in net tonight.

Geekie is off to a solid start with two scores through four games after tallying a career-high 33 last season. He offers the best combination of odds and head-to-head history ahead of tonight's Bruins vs. Golden Knights matchup.

FanDuel features the most valuable price of the best sports betting apps at +230. A $10 bet would win us $23 if Geekie beats Schmid again, with an implied probability of 30.30%.
