NHL Player Props, Best Bets & Goal Scorer Picks Today: Stone Sets the Tone for Golden Knights

Iām predicting another impressive showing from Stone as he continues to build momentum since returning to the lineup. The NHL best bets below also feature Brad Marchand and two lesser-known - but equally intriguing - players.

Mark Stone Over 1.5 points (+220) āāāā
Stone hasn't missed a beat since returning from injury, which I covered in my Devils vs. Golden Knights player props. He has taken his game to another level in the last four, notching two points in three straight before failing to get on the scoresheet against Columbus.
I love the +220 odds here. If he secures two points or more, you'll earn $22.
⚜️ Golden Knights offense on fire
- Jack Eichel, who has nine points in the last five games, left practice early due to a reported sickness. His status for tonight's game is unknown
- Mitch Marner has at least one assist in seven of the last nine, with three against Columbus on Saturday
- Pavel Dorofeyev netted two goals in the previous three games

Brad Marchand anytime goal (+175) āāāā
After a cooling-off period, Marchand is heating up like a stove element cranked to max. He has three goals in the previous two games and scored two the last time he faced the Los Angeles Kings.
Like Marchand, the Florida Panthers recaptured a bit of their bite, having scored at least four goals in five of the previous six. I'm loving the fact that I'll almost double my stake if he scores.
Gabriel Vilardi anytime goal (+220) āāā
Vilardi netted five times in the last six games, including two against Washington on Dec. 13. He's facing a St. Louis Blues team that he scored two against in their previous meeting.
The Blues have been tragic defensively, even more so than usual, allowing at least five goals in three of the previous four games. I'll take a shot with Vilardi at +220 odds.
Shayne Gostisbehere Over 0.5 assists (-110) āāā
The odds are shorter, but it's still a 4-star pick due to the increased probability (52.38%). Gostisbehere has nine helpers in the last 10 encounters, and his Carolina Hurricanes are facing the third-worst defense in the league. The Hurricanes scored six against the Nashville Predators on Dec. 6, albeit on home ice.
The Predators have been better recently, but the Hurricanes offer a sterner challenge than the Blues, whom Nashville had its way with twice recently.
