💰 Best NHL player prop bet tonight: Zach Hyman, Oilers, Anytime goal (+130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

Hyman is hot, scoring seven goals in the last seven games. He has at least a goal in four of the previous five games.

He'll be called upon to continue his goal-scoring production while Leon Draisaitl is out of the lineup, and Hyman has the perfect opportunity to light the lamp tonight against a New Jersey Devils team that required an extra session on Monday to beat the Calgary Flames. 

Our Liam Fox breaks down the entire matchup in his Devils vs. Oilers prediction, including his favorite Connor McDavid player prop to target tonight.


🔥 More NHL player prop picks

Zach Werenski, Blue Jackets, Over 3.5 shots (+150) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Werenski is doing his utmost to rein in Cale Makar atop the Norris Trophy odds leaderboard. With many of his other props too pricey, I'm backing him to fire at least four shots on goal, which he's done three of the previous five games. 

Going back further, he's hit the Over on this prop in seven of the last 12 games, offering excellent value with the +150 odds. Columbus is also on form offensively, netting 13 in the last three games. 

Kevin Fiala, Kings, Anytime goal (+175) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Rangers have allowed 35 goals in the last six games, including 10 and eight on separate occasions. Without Igor Shesterkin, they have found it nearly impossible to shore up their porous defense. 

Combine that with Fiala's excellent track record against the Blueshirts, whom he has three goals against in the last three meetings. 

💥 More anytime goal scorers

We feature three more NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today, highlighted by Nikita Kucherov.

Nikita Kucherov, Lightning, Over 1.5 points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐

Kucherov notched at least two points in 10 of the previous 12 games, including a ridiculous nine straight that ended against Pittsburgh last week. 

The Lightning's most prolific scorer has also eaten the Sharks alive recently, securing nine points in the last three head-to-head meetings. The short -120 odds reduce this pick to a 3-star play.
