Eichel, Kucherov Go to Town in Our NHL Player Props & Best Bets Today (Feb. 5)

Jack Eichel headlines the final edition of the NHL player props and best bets today before the Olympic break commences. 

The Eichel Tower has been particularly imposing recently against the Los Angeles Kings. Nikita Kucherov player props have been one of my most profitable plays recently, and I'm going back to the well with the prolific forward. Steven Stamkos and Bo Horvat round out my picks for Thursday's action.

💰 Best NHL player prop bet today: Jack Eichel Over 1.5 points (+146) 

Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

The Eichel Tower is often at his most menacing against the Kings, whom he has nine points against in the previous three meetings. 

The Vegas Golden Knights' alternate captain is also playing well, notching two points in two of the last three games. That has come after a three-game scoreless stint. Vegas scored eight goals against the Kings in two head-to-heads this season, and I'm hopeful that goals galore will help cash this pick.

Nikita Kucherov to extend goal-scoring streak to 4 games (+120)

Securing Kucherov at plus-money odds for any bet is, in its own right, a victory. His recent dominance has his Hart Trophy odds improving at a meteoric rate, and the diminutive megastar has a goal in five of the previous six and three straight. 

While Kucherov doesn't usually score against the Florida Panthers, he netted twice in their last head-to-head. His scorching-hot streak should end at some point, but it's been so profitable that I'm riding it until the wheels fall off. 

Bo Horvat to score & inflict more pain on Devils (+195) 

Horvat scored two goals against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, the first time he netted in seven games. Most importantly, though, are his exploits against the New Jersey Devils, whom he's roasted for nine goals in the previous 10 meetings. 

New Jersey, meanwhile, allowed at least four goals in four of the previous six encounters and is struggling in all phases. Of the best sports betting sites, FanDuel offers the best price. 

Steven Stamkos to score in third straight game (+220) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stamkos is dialing back the years, and his current rampage consists of 10 goals in 12 games. He enters tonight's contest on a two-game goal-scoring streak, and he's facing a Washington Capitals team that has allowed a lot of goals lately.

The 35-year-old is up to 28 goals on the season, which appeared extremely unlikely entering the festive period. I'm riding Stamkos' hot hand, especially considering he scored against the Caps in the last meeting.
