💰 Best NHL player prop bet tonight

Lane Hutson Over 1.5 points (+240) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hutson is playing like a man who has been wronged. Team USA didn't select him for the Olympics, and Hutson is proving why that was the incorrect decision. Last year's Calder Trophy winner has four multi-point games in the previous six, including three in the last four. 

He's facing a Calgary Flames team that is the worst in the league on the road and is among the 10 most porous defenses in enemy rinks. Of the best sports betting sites, FanDuel offers the best price. 

I discuss some of Team USA's curious roster decisions further in our Olympic hockey odds rundown.

Tyler Bertuzzi Over 2.5 shots (+170) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Someone had to step up in Connor Bedard's absence. Bertuzzi has risen to the occasion, at least recently. The 30-year-old has eight points in the previous six games, including a hat trick against Vegas on Sunday.

I'm backing him to fire at least three shots on goal, which he has accomplished in three straight. The +170 odds make this pick a high-value play. Our Liam Fox targets Bertuzzi to score against St. Louis in his Blues vs. Blackhawks player props.

Tim Stutzle Over 0.5 assists (+104) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I shudder to think where the Ottawa Senators would be without Tim Stutzle's offensive production. He enters tonight's game against the Utah Mammoth on a 13-game point streak, with at least one assist in the previous four games, totaling five. 

Stutzle has notched 26 assists in 41 games. 

Justin Sourdif anytime goal (+350) ⭐⭐⭐

Sourdif has come out of nowhere, with five goals in the last four games. He scored the first hat trick of his career on Monday against Anaheim, and I'm willing to take a flier on the hot hand. 

If Sourdif lights the lamp tonight against the out-of-form Stars, a $10 bet will profit $35. For a safer Capitals play, Alex Ovechkin leads our NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today.
