NHL Player Props: Tonight's Best Prop Bets & Goal Scorer Picks for Nov. 18

My NHL player props and best bets tonight include a pair of five-star gems.

I expect John Tavares to continue generating shots on goal, and Jason Robertson to extend his three-game scoring streak. My other picks highlight Mikko Rantanen and Dylan Larkin, with Larkin aiming for his fourth consecutive goal at home.

⬆️ Mikko Rantanen player prop: Over 2.5 shots (-122) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rantanen has at least three shots in five of the last seven games and three of five on home ice. He has also been productive against the New York Islanders, hitting the Over in five straight meetings. In those five contests, Rantanen averaged 5.4 shots. 

The Dallas Stars are also on a sizzling-hot streak, scoring at least five goals in three of the previous five. The odds for him to fire three shots on goal range from -122 to -140, with FanDuel providing the best value. Its -122 odds represent a 54.95% chance, and a winning $10 bet will profit $8.20.

⬆️ John Tavares player prop: Over 2.5 shots (-128) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm more optimistic about this pick than the Toronto Maple Leafs are about Joseph Woll's return to the lineup. Tavares hit the Over on this total in 11 of the previous 13 games, averaging 3.62 shots in that sample size. He has at least three shots in five of the previous six games, with the only exception a two-shot outing in Boston. 

Tavares has been productive against the St. Louis Blues, too, registering at least three shots in four of the previous five meetings. And with Auston Matthews still sidelined, the onus on Tavares to keep shooting remains high.

🥅 Best NHL goal scorer picks tonight

🔥 Dylan Larkin (+155) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Larkin has scored 11 goals in 19 games, netting in nine of them. But what draws me to this pick is Larkin's recent productivity at home, where he netted in the previous three games.

He has at least one goal in six of 10 games at Little Caesars Arena and is facing a Seattle Kraken team that has lost three of the last five road games. 

bet365 has the best odds (+155) of the best sports betting apps, where a winning $10 bet will profit $15.50. While the implied probability is at 39.22%, I'd place it between 45% and 50%. 

🔥 Jason Robertson (+135) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Robertson is feeling it, with six of his nine goals coming in the last three games. His current three-game scoring streak includes a hat trick at home against the Philadelphia Flyers and two goals in Montreal against the Canadiens. 

While his rich vein of form is enough to merit a five-star rating, I take even more confidence in the fact that he netted a hat trick the last time he faced tonight's opponents, the Islanders. 

Of the best sports betting sites, you'll want to lock this in at FanDuel, which offers +135 odds. If he scores, you'll earn $13.50 on a $10 bet. 

Our Devils vs. Lightning player props feature another goal scorer if you're looking for more action on players to dent the twine.
