Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (-113) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Connor McDavid's red-hot streak has led him to overtake Nathan MacKinnon for the NHL lead in points as we approach the end of 2025.

McDavid is on a 10-game points streak, a stretch in which he has eight multi-point outings. The three-time Hart Trophy winner also has three multi-point contests over his last four against the Flames.

Back McDavid to once again rule the Battle of Alberta at FanDuel's -113 odds, which offer a ton of value compared to the -125 at the low end of the market.

Mitch Marner Over 0.5 power-play points (+160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mitch Marner will have to pick up the slack in Jack Eichel's absence tonight, and I expect him to continue his strong play on the man advantage.

The Vegas star forward has tallied at least one power-play point in three of his last four games.

He faces the 21st-ranked penalty kill in San Jose, which he logged a power-play point against in the most recent Sharks-Golden Knights matchup last month.

Jason Robertson to score (+145) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jason Robertson is tied for third in the league in goals, entering tonight's matchup in Detroit with three across his last two contests.

Dallas' leading scorer has also scored in six of his last eight games versus the Red Wings. Among the best sports betting sites, bet365 offers slightly better odds than the +140 at FanDuel.

I offer two more winning plays for this matchup between top-five teams in my Stars vs. Red Wings player props.

Cole Caufield to score (+170) ⭐⭐⭐

Canadiens star Cole Caufield is in the midst of a bit of a drought, as he's goalless across his last six games.

But the American forward has a great track record against the rival Bruins, lighting the lamp in five of his previous six head-to-head meetings with Boston.

I love backing Caufield to shake loose for a score tonight, especially at the +170 price tag we're getting.
