Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes Player Props: NHL Prop Picks & Best Bets for Tuesday

My Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes player props and NHL bets for tonight look to exploit Vegas’ recent scoring struggles. Carolina is a -140 moneyline betting favorite when the puck drops at Lenovo Center in Raleigh, N.C., at 6:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+).

The Golden Knights have scored just twice through two games of their eastern road trip. My NHL picks are fading the Knights’ Mitch Marner while backing the Canes’ Shayne Gostisbehere and Jackson Blake, all at plus-money prices.

💰 Best player props for Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes

⬆️  Shayne Gostisbehere Over 0.5 points (+120) ⭐⭐⭐

Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere is expected to return from a lower-body injury tonight, and the offense badly needs him. After scoring at least four goals in each of their first five games, Carolina managed two goals or fewer in two of the three games that the defenseman was sidelined.

Before his injury on Oct. 18 in Los Angeles, Gostisbehere had collected seven points in his first four games and was tied for the league lead with a plus-9 rating. He attempted 15 shots in his first three outings, and his presence on the man advantage (Gostisbehere led the team last year in power-play points) could also be what it takes to jumpstart Carolina’s struggling power play.

BetMGM’s +120 odds on Gostisbehere Over 0.5 points implies a 45.45% chance that he hits the scoresheet again tonight, with the opportunity to profit $12 on a $10 bet.

⬇️  Mitch Marner Under 0.5 points (+145) ⭐⭐⭐

Mark Stone’s injury and the Golden Knights’ scoring slump has caused coach Bruce Cassidy to juggle his lines a lot recently, and it seems to be taking a toll on Mitch Marner.

The first-year Knight isn’t exactly known for his high shot volumes, but it’s still alarming that he’s attempted just one shot in each of the last three games and failed to hit the target in four of his last five. According to SinBin.vegas, the Knights have created just two high-danger chances in Marner’s last 26 minutes of 5-on-5 ice time.

Betting on Marner to go pointless for a third straight game isn’t for the faint of heart, and BetMGM’s +145 odds imply just a 40.82% chance that he will. However, a winning $10 bet will be rewarded with $14.50 profit.

🥅 Best Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes anytime goal scorer prediction

🔥 Jackson Blake anytime goal scorer (+300) ⭐⭐

While Carolina’s top line of Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis, and Nikolaj Ehlers gets a lot of attention, Blake has quietly been one of the Canes’ most dangerous forwards. He’s earned points in six of eight games this year, and his 3.4 expected goals rank second on the club, per Moneypuck.

He’s also seen the fifth-most power-play minutes on the squad and is consistently putting plenty of rubber on net, hitting the net at least three times in six of his eight outings.

With just two goals to show for his efforts so far, Blake could be due for another one tonight. A $10 bet at FanDuel’s +300 odds could return a profit of $30, with an implied probability of 25%.
