💰 Best NHL player props tonight

⬆️ Drake Batherson player prop: Over 0.5 assists (+114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Batherson carries a five-game assist streak into tonight's outing, registering six in that span.

He has 10 assists in as many games to start the season and thrives against the Boston Bruins, with an assist in eight of the previous nine meetings. I'm also backing Batherson to light the lamp as he has four against Boston in the last two head-to-heads. 

It's a five-star play because of the juicy +114 odds, which would provide an $11.40 profit on a winning $10 bet. 

Our Liam Fox likes Batherson to find the back of the net in his anytime goal scorer predictions.

⬆️ Leo Carlsson player prop: Over 0.5 assists (+126) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We've got another undervalued play with the Ducks' Carlsson, who is off to an electric start, posting 13 helpers in 12 games. He's on a six-game assist streak, registering six in the last three games.

And it's not as if the 20-year-old is racking up the apples against inferior opponents, as the aforementioned three-game outburst came against the Florida Panthers, New Jersey Devils, and Detroit Red Wings. 

In addition, the Ducks scored 16 goals in their last three outings. If Carlsson notches at least one assist against the Dallas Stars, you'll earn a $12.60 profit on a $10 bet. 

If it's more apples you're after, we have a superstar destined to pick up a helper in our Capitals vs. Penguins player props.

🥅 Best goal scorer picks tonight

🔥 Jesper Bratt (+260) ⭐⭐⭐

Jesper Bratt hasn't scored in the last six games, netting only four goals in 13 overall. Not only do I believe he's overdue, but I'm trusting in Bratt's track record against the Montreal Canadiens.

The 27-year-old left winger has five goals in the previous four games against the Habs, carrying a four-game goal-scoring streak into this one.

I'm banking on his prolific recent history against the Habs as the catalyst to end his goal-scoring drought. If he does what I'm hoping, you'll win a $26 profit on a $10 bet at FanDuel, which provides the best value of the best sports betting sites. Those odds represent a 27.78% implied probability.  

🔥 David Pastrnak (+125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Senators allow the most goals per game in enemy rinks (5.0), joyous news for Pastrnak and his goal-scoring superpowers.

The goal-scoring extraordinaire has two in the last four games but failed to light the lamp against Ottawa the first time the teams met on Oct. 27. That goose egg was an anomaly for Pasta as he scored one in each of the previous three against them.

The odds for Pastrnak to score range from +110 to +125, with DraftKings' +125 at the high end of the market. Those odds imply a 44.44% implied probability, and a winning $10 bet will profit $12.50.
