NHL Predictions Today: Odds, Picks & Best Bets for Sunday (Nov. 1)
A five-game slate is set to drop on Sunday's NHL calendar, and I've found several high-value picks in my NHL predictions today. These picks span two NHL player prop betting markets.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is my top target on Sunday's betting board. The Oilers veteran forward has been hot in a small sample size, recording 7 points in 5 appearances. I'm also betting against Pierre-Luc Dubois and backing Clayton Keller.

NHL best bet today
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Over 0.5 Points (-120 via DraftKings)
Since returning to the Oilers' lineup, Nugent-Hopkins has been a dynamic offensive force. Now in his 16th season, Edmonton's forward skates on the second attack line and top power-play unit, where he's scored 3 goals and notched 4 assists in just 5 starts.
Last night, Nugent-Hopkins lit the lamp twice against the Islanders top goaltender. Tonight, he'll head across town to play at iconic Madison Square Garden against the Rangers.
Dylan Garand is set to start in net for New York. He has allowed 12 goals in his previous 3 starts, creating value for Nugent-Hopkins to log a point for the fifth time in six starts tonight.
Bet on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to go Over 0.5 Points at -120 odds on DraftKings.

Pierre-Luc Dubois Under 0.5 Points (-145 via DraftKings)
Let's stay in the same total points betting market and head to the nation's capital for a matchup between the Wild and Capitals. Pierre-Luc Dubois is earning 16:40 ATOI this season, skating on Washington's first attack line and second powerplay unit.
Due to these elevated opportunities, Dubois has recorded 3 points in his last 2 starts for the Capitals. However, it's a tougher test today against Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt.
Wallstedt has allowed 2 or fewer goals in 3 of his previous 4 starts. Dubois has taken 2 or fewer shots on goal in each of his last 4 appearances, so let's fade Dubois in a tough matchup today.
Stay on DraftKings and bet on Pierre-Luc Dubois Under 0.5 Points at -145 odds.

Clayton Keller Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+120 via bet365)
Clayton Keller is tied on the Mammoth with 16 points in 14 games played. However, instead of staying in the total points betting market, I'm pivoting to the total shots on goal market instead.
The Flyers are allowing the fourth-most shots on goal (454)this season. The Mammoth forward has notched 3 shots on goal in consecutive appearances heading into today's road contest in Philadelphia.
Keller logs over 18 minutes of ATOI this season between the Mammoth's first attack line and primary power-play unit. He's drawing a favorable matchup against a Flyers defense still struggling to find answers.
Go to bet365 and bet on Clayton Keller Over 2.5 Shots on Goal at +120 odds.
