NHL Player Props & Best Bets Today: Thursday Best NHL Prop Picks for Jan. 15

My NHL player props and bets today feature Leon Draisaitl, Clayton Keller, Wyatt Johnston, and Cole Caufield. 

I'm backing Draisaitl to score his customary goal against the New York Islanders and expecting the in-form Keller to notch at least one helper against Dallas. Speaking of the Stars, Johnston has been playing like one, which should bode well for his anytime goal-scorer prop. Caufield, meanwhile, is overdue.

💰 Best NHL player prop bet today: Leon Draisaitl anytime goal (+120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

Draisaitl netted in six straight against the Islanders, scoring eight. He's also on a three-game goal-scoring streak, creating a 5-star play and the perfect storm for New York, which likes seeing Draisaitl about as much as a snowman enjoys blistering heat. 

I also love the fact that the Oilers are playing at Rogers Place, where they're one of the league's best. Of the best sports betting sites, bet365 offers the best price.

Clayton Keller, Mammoth, Over 0.5 assists (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm riding the captain's hot streak, with Keller posting seven assists in the last four games. That run includes three multi-assist contests against Ottawa, St. Louis, and Columbus.

While Dallas is superior to those teams, it has been hot and cold recently, losing two of the previous four after suffering six straight defeats. Utah, meanwhile, scored 10 goals in the last two wins.

Wyatt Johnston, Stars, Anytime goal (+200) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Johnston netted five goals in the last six games and scored in the previous meeting against the Mammoth. He scored a goal in three of the five games on the current road trip and has been the the Stars' most dangerous forward, along with Jason Robertson, since the end of November. 

The +200 odds provide the proverbial cherry on top. 

Cole Caufield, Canadiens, Anytime goal (+160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Caufield faces a piping-hot Buffalo Sabres team, but I'm confident the sniper will continue his good form against them. The 25-year-old scored four goals in the previous five head-to-heads against the Sabres, and he's due for a goal.

He hasn't scored in four goals, his second-longest dry patch of the season. Caufield has looked threatening in recent games, back to his highly productive shooting ways.
