NHL Predictions Today: Odds, Picks & Best Bets for Saturday (Oct. 31)
I've got 3 NHL player point props to tail for my NHL predictions today. We're running a full Halloween fade on select players in tough matchups or who are struggling to produce on the ice.
It starts with Quinton Byfield. The Kings forward has been largely unproductive to start the season, logging only 4 points in 10 appearances. We'll stay in the same betting market for Tyler Toffoli and Egor Chinakhov.

NHL best bet today
Quinton Byfield Under 0.5 Points (-115 via DraftKings)
Despite skating on the Kings' primary power play unit and centering the second attack line, Byfield has been largely unproductive in 2026. He is coming off a 2-point outing against the Senators, while recording 11 shots on goal across his previous 2 contests.
Even with the elevated role and as one of the centerpieces of the Los Angeles offense, Byfield has just 2 starts with a point. Today, he'll face Colten Ellis in net for the Sabres.
Ellis has a 3.11 GAA, holding 3 of 5 opponents to 2 or fewer goals. This includes a recent shutout against the Sharks.
Go to DraftKings and bet on Quinton Byfield to go Under 0.5 Points at -115 odds.

Tyler Toffoli Under 0.5 Points (-150 via BetMGM)
The Sharks don't have a big role carved out for Tyler Toffoli on offense. He skates on the second powerplay unit, while earning most of his minutes on the third attack line.
Toffoli and the Sharks will host the Senators today, with Samuel Ersson expected to start in the crease. Ersson has not been reliable in net, allowing a 4.47 GAA, although he just held the Kings to 2 goals in an overtime loss during his last start.
The veteran forward is riding a 2-game point drought into tonight's home tilt. Toffoli has less than 14 minutes ATOI in 10 straight starts for the Sharks.
Go to BetMGM to bet Tyler Toffoli Under 0.5 Points at -150 odds.

Egor Chinakhov Under 0.5 Points (-150 via BetMGM)
Egor Chinakhov and the Penguins will hit the road to face one of the league's top goaltenders tonight. Montreal is expected to start Jacob Fowler in goal, posting a 6-1 record with a 1.54 GAA and 2 shutouts.
Chinakhov skates on Pittsburgh's second attack line and secondary powerplay unit. He's only logged 2 SOG on his past 3 combined starts, yet he's managed to notch a goal and an assist during his previous 2 appearances.
It's going to be a tough task to get the puck past Fowler tonight. Chinakhov snapped a five-game point drought with his last 2 starts against the Mammoth. Expect him to be held in check tonight, especially as a low-volume shooter.
Stay on BetMGM to bet on Egor Chinakhov Under 0.5 Points at -150 odds.
