Oilers vs. Sabres Player Props: Best NHL Prop Bet Picks for Nov. 17
The Edmonton Oilers look to make it three wins out of four on the current road trip when they face the Buffalo Sabres, with my Oilers vs. Sabres props featuring Leon Draisaitl, Jack Roslovic, and Evan Bouchard.
The Oilers are the -164 moneyline betting favorite despite having the sixth-worst road point percentage (0.417). Tonight's game starts at 7 p.m. ET from KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. (ESPN+).

⬆️ Jack Roslovic player prop: Over 0.5 points (-128) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's safe to say Roslovic is enjoying life in Edmonton. And, really, who's surprised by seeing the former Carolina Hurricane showing his best stuff while playing alongside two of the world's elite?
He has at least one point in eight of the previous nine games, carrying a four-game point streak into Buffalo tonight. During the nine-game span, Roslovic has 11 points. His odds to notch a point are becoming shorter gradually, which is about as shocking as seeing Connor McDavid as one of the MVP odds favorites.
His odds to post a point range from -128 to -135, offering slight variance. FanDuel's -128 odds are the best value from the best sports betting sites, and a winning $10 bet will profit $7.81.
⬆️ Evan Bouchard player prop: Over 2.5 shots (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bouchard hit the Over on this total in three of the previous five games, including two of three on the current road trip. While a decent run, his recent shot production isn't what draws me to this pick.
The 26-year-old lets loose whenever he faces the Buffalo Sabres, firing at least three shots on goal in seven straight meetings. He averaged 4.14 shots per game during that sample size, and the Sabres allow the second-most shots per game (31.7), adding even more appeal.
Three of the five best sports betting apps offer -110 odds, which implies a 52.38% implied probability. Those odds will profit $9.09 on a winning $10 bet.
🥅 Best Oilers vs. Sabres anytime goal scorer prediction
🔥 Leon Draisaitl (+120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I also backed Draisaitl to score in my NHL player props today as he represents one of the best goal-scorer props across tonight's six-game slate.
Draisaitl has three goals in the previous two games, netting twice against Columbus while also lighting the lamp in Raleigh against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Sabres allow a ton of shots and have the third-most porous defense, conceding 3.56 goals per game. Lindy Ruff's team isn't much better 5-on-5, allowing the third-most per 60 minutes (3.0).
FanDuel's +120 odds carry an implied probability of 45.45%, and a winning $10 bet will profit $12.
