🥅 Our best NHL player props tonight for Hurricanes vs. Capitals

🔎 Our NEW NHL player prop odds tool can help you find the best NHL odds across legal sportsbooks in your area!

🚨 Seth Jarvis anytime goal ⭐⭐⭐

Jarvis scored two goals in five games against the Devils. It's a goal haul that might have you wondering why I'm selecting him to light the lamp in Washington. Jarvis becomes the elite goal-scorer he always wished he could be when facing the Caps, scoring three goals in the last three meetings. He's scored five in the previous seven, doing his best Great 8 impression against Alex Ovechkin's team. 

You'll earn $19.50 on a $10 bet if he finds the net again. DraftKings has the outlier price of our best sports betting apps, so lock it in there.

🚨 Dylan Strome Over 0.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Strome is always in the zone and prone to shouldering the assists load on his own. His assists prop represents my most profitable of the season stretch run and the postseason.

The assist maestro set up Ovechkin on all four of his first-round goals, which I put money down on. While that's as impressive as riding a unicycle, Strome isn't exclusively Ovi's setup man.

He has seven helpers in five games, posting an assist in all but one. That's as impressive as riding a unicycle while juggling. At some point, he'll hit a cooling period, but I'll ride this unicycle until the wheel falls off. 

Our best NHL betting sites are still offering excellent value on the prop, where a $10 wager will yield a $9.09 profit.

🚨 Anthony Beauvillier Over 1.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beauvillier rose to the occasion in the first round, bagging five points in as many games. He's benefitting from playing beside Ovi and Strome, with his ice time increasing by more than 1:30 per game in the playoffs. Beauvillier's also getting his fair share of shooting opportunities. Better yet, he's pulling the trigger. 

The 27-year-old hit the Over in four of five games in the first round and all three at Capital One Arena, averaging 3.7 shots in front of the Caps-mad crowd. A winning $10 bet would profit $8.33.
