🏒 NHL Player Props Today: Best Bets & Prop Picks for Tuesday, March 3

Today's 11-game slate features more elite goal scorers than popcorn in a jumbo-size bag, and I'm focusing my attention on that market.

In a rare occurrence, I've decided to use all four NHL player props today on goal-scorer picks. In this scenario, I hope fortune does indeed favor the bold. With longer odds and less probability, it could be a particularly fruitful night. Let's get into the picks, which headline Cole Caufield, Jason Robertson, Leon Draisaitl, and Brayden Point.

💰 Best NHL player prop bet today

Cole Caufield anytime goal (+145) at Sharks

Caufield scored three goals in two games since the restart, and he has the most goals since Jan. 15, netting 14 in 12. The Habs' sniper lit the lamp in three of the previous four meetings with the San Jose Sharks, including in the last two at SAP Center. 

And for all the positives coming out of the Sharks camp this season, they are poor defensively, allowing the fourth-most goals per game at home (3.34).

There's some excellent value triggering this bet at bet365, with most of the others offering +125. I'd play the bet to +130.

Jason Robertson anytime goal (+125) at Flames

On Monday, I went back and forth between Robertson and Wyatt Johnston like a tennis ball in a match featuring Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. I landed on Johnston. Turns out, that was the wrong choice. 

So, I've recalibrated, thanks to Robertson's four goals in the previous five games, including last night's against the AHL-like Canucks. Robertson is also a beast against the Calgary Flames, having netted four in the previous four meetings. 

FanDuel offers the best price of the best sports betting sites, and I'd play the bet to +120. 

Leon Draisaitl anytime goal (+140) vs. Senators

Draisaitl is back to his score-in-bunches routine as he has six in the previous seven games and two in three since the restart. The Oilers, who have the shortest Stanley Cup odds of Canadian teams, score the third-most goals per game on home ice (3.69). 

Unfortunately for Oilers fans, they allow the second-most (3.59). Because of having one of the leakiest ships around, Draisaitl and McDavid must produce at an elevated clip.

That sounds like a fortunate scenario for anyone backing the German to light the lamp against the Sens, which he's done in two of the previous four meetings. It also helps that Ottawa has the third-worst penalty kill. 

Brayden Point anytime goal (+220) at Wild

Since returning from injury, Point has three goals in as many games since the NHL recommenced. He has eight in his last nine games and has been at his best since the start of 2026. 

Point also has two goals in his previous three meetings with the Wild. With Nikita Kucherov playing at an otherworldly level and Minnesota showing a few cracks defensively, I expect Point to get one or two excellent chances.

That should be enough to put one away. 

💡 How I'm betting NHL player props today

Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

I've decided to go with four goal-scorer prop picks, a rare occurrence brought on by four players at the peak of their goal-scoring power.

Point and Kucherov have enjoyed superb chemistry together recently, and I love the matchup for Caufield and Robertson, who play the Sharks and Flames, respectively. 

I was considering Robertson to notch two points, but the Flames' goaltending and defense have been superb lately, so I doubt there will be many goals. I've allocated 0.5 units to three of four bets, with Caufield the exception. He gets a full unit because of his absurd recent goal-scoring record.
