Multi-Point Games Expected from Draisaitl, Pastrnak in NHL Player Props & Best Bets Today

David Pastrnak and Leon Draisaitl headline my NHL player props and best bets today as I expect both superstars to score at least two points against the Philadelphia Flyers and San Jose Sharks, respectively. 

I'm also featuring two prospective goal scorers, Macklin Celebrini and Nathan MacKinnon, with the former looking to light the lamp for the first time against the Edmonton Oilers.

💰 Best NHL player prop bet today: Leon Draisaitl Over 1.5 points (-113) 

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

Draisaitl has been on a tear since returning after his one-week leave of absence, scoring seven points in the last two games. The Edmonton Oilers' offense is scorching hot at Rogers Place, netting 18 in their previous three home wins, including 13 in the last two. 

The way Draisaitl played against Washington and Anaheim is what draws me to this wager, as the power forward appeared as motivated and inspired as I've seen from him. I'm okay with settling for a lower profit margin for a higher likelihood.

David Pastrnak, Over 1.5 points (+104) 

Pastrnak has been good to me and anyone tailing my picks recently, and I'm going back to him in tonight's game at TD Garden against the Philadelphia Flyers. Pasta has two or more points in four of the previous six games and has accounted for 28 points in the last 14 games. 

Only Nikita Kucherov (31) has more. He will be salivating at the thought of facing Philly, which allowed five goals in defeat to Columbus last night. They have conceded 17 in the previous four games. 

Macklin Celebrini to score first goal against Oilers (+150) 

It's time for Celebrini to score his first goal against the Oilers. While he failed to light the lamp in his first four games against Edmonton, the sophomore sensation has three goals in the last two games. 

The Oilers haven't exactly been watertight defensively, allowing 15 goals in the last three games. And Celebrini has one more goal on the road than on home ice. 

Nathan MacKinnon to score, end dry streak (-105) 

It's now only two goals in the previous eight games for the league's top goal scorer and Hart Trophy odds favorite, who had one shot on goal last night in Ottawa. Playing tonight doesn't give him much time to dwell on that poor effort, and I'm banking on a solid bounce-back game from the superstar. 

I'm also hoping he breaks out of his rut soon, considering the Olympics are just around the corner.
