Sunday's condensed six-game board contains enough value to target in the NHL player props market for my NHL predictions today. We're running a full fade on three players in the player points betting market.

It starts with Sabres defenseman Owen Power, who just snapped a three-game point skid with a three-assist burst in his previous appearance. We'll also bet against Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi and Flyers forward Trevor Zegras.

NHL best bet today

Owen Power Under 0.5 Points (-160 via BetMGM)

Power and the Sabres host the Vegas Golden Knights in Buffalo this afternoon. Despite logging over 26 minutes of ATOI this season, Power's sitting just above average with a 52.7% Fenwick For score.  

He just snapped a three-game point drought in his last outing. Now, Power faces Carter Hart in net, who has held opponents to two or fewer goals in three straight starts. 

He's on the second defensive line and second powerplay unit. This doesn't afford Power the top chances to contribute alongside stars like Tage Thompson, Rasmus Dahlin, and Zach Benson. 

Go to BetMGM and bet Owen Power Under 0.5 Points at -160 odds.

Gabriel Vilardi Under 0.5 Points (+110 via DraftKings)

The Jets have a tough matchup against Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy today, creating an ideal environment to fade Vilardi. He's getting prime minutes on Winnipeg's first attack line and top power-play unit, yet it hasn't translated into high production.

Vilardi's Fenwick For percentage score is 48.3%, which is nearly below the 48-52% average. This means Vilardi is failing to generate shots on goal and scoring, while also missing shots on goal entirely. 

He's notched an assist in back-to-back games for the Jets. This has snapped a four-game point slump that included being held without a point against the Lightning.

Bet Gabriel Vilardi Under 0.5 Points at +110 odds on DraftKings. 

Play to: -115

Trevor Zegras Under 0.5 Points (+105 via BetMGM)

Zegras is one of the Flyers' top skaters, but he holds value in a road tilt against Devin Cooley and the Flames tonight. He's entering this game with a 46.7% Corsi For score, well below the 48-52% average threshold, indicating Zegras is not pressing hard in the offensive zone.

A 47.0% Fenwick For score is equally telling. This means that the Flyers are not achieving control of the puck and taking efficient shots on goal or scoring when Zegras is on the ice this season. 

He's recorded one point in his previous three appearances for the Flyers. Cooley has held opponents to two goals during consecutive starts in net for the Flames. 

Go back to BetMGM and bet Trevor Zegras Under 0.5 Points at +105 odds.
