⬇️  Valeri Nichushkin player prop: Under 0.5 points (-129) ⭐⭐⭐

Colorado’s third-line forward and second powerplay contributor, Valeri Nichushkin, has been relatively limited with his on-ice production this season.

Nichushkin has scored twice in his last five outings. However, he’s gone through multi-game droughts in terms of points, including two of his past three starts against the Rangers and Predators. 

A $10 bet that wins on Nichushkin’s Under 0.5 points at Caesars’ -129 odds (56.33% implied probability) nets $7.75 of profit.

⬆️  Carter Verhaeghe player prop: Over 0.5 assists (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Carter Verhaeghe’s scoring pace has begun to trend upward with the Panthers. He’s still been effective at finishing possessions without lighting the lamp, logging 14 assists in 28 games played.

Verhaeghe’s skating roughly 18 minutes across Florida’s second line and top power-play unit. He’s recorded three assists in his last five games, which also includes a four-game goal-scoring streak. 

On top of it all, he also features in our Liam Fox's anytime goal scorer predictions.

A winning $10 bet on the Over 0.5 assists at DraftKings’ +155 odds (39.22% implied probability) yields $15.50 of profit.


🥅 Best Panthers vs. Avalanche anytime goal scorer prediction

🔥  Martin Necas anytime goal scorer (+170) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Martin Necas draws a prime matchup against Florida’s expected relief netminder, Daniil Tarasov. The Panthers' goaltender has allowed three or more goals in five of eight starts. 

Nathan MacKinnon has overshadowed Necas in terms of production. Even with 14 goals scored in 2025, Necas has only lit the lamp once in his last 11 starts (our NHL player props today highlight a couple of goal scorers who have been a little more on fire).

Necas as an anytime goal scorer at FanDuel’s +170 odds (37.04% implied probability) means a $10 winning bet returns $17 of profit.
