Jack Hughes Over 0.5 assists (+105) āāāā
Hughes is the only Devil scoring at a point-per-game clip, and the Olympian has 13 assists in 24 games, three of which occurred in the previous three games.
His production recently against the Islanders has slowed, but Hughes still accounted for 15 points in the previous 10 games against the Islanders. Of the best sports betting sites, bet365 provides the best price.

Timo Meier Over 3.5 shots (+142) āāāā
While Meier has only hit the Over on this total in four of the previous eight games, he has at least four shots in the last three games against the New York Islanders.
The +142 odds at FanDuel is the other reason the prop is so appealing, as its value is considerably better than BetMGM's +115.
Matthew Schaefer anytime goal (+460) āāā
The Calder Trophy odds favorite scored against the Utah Mammoth and Toronto Maple Leafs, netting in consecutive games for the second time. I'm hoping he makes it a goal in three straight for the first time in his fledgling career.
The +460 odds at FanDuel are worth a flier. If you're looking for more goal scorer picks, I've got three as part of my best NHL player props today, while our Liam Fox offers three of his own in his NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today.
