Last Updated: November 12, 2025 11:48 AM EST • 3 minute read X Social Google News Link
The Tampa Bay Lightning could be without top defensemen Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh tonight when they host the New York Rangers, and we’ll look to take advantage of that with our Rangers vs. Lightning player props.
Vincent Trocheck and Alexis Lafreniere appear poised for success when New York visits Tampa’s Benchmark International Arena at 7 p.m. ET (TNT) as a +125 betting underdog. We round out our NHL best bets with a prop pick on the red-hot Brandon Hagel, who is seeking a goal for his seventh time in eight games.

💵 Best Rangers vs. Lightning player prop bets
- Vincent Trochek player prop: Over 0.5 points (+100 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

💰 Best Rangers vs. Lightning player props
⬆️ Vincent Trocheck player prop: Over 0.5 points (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trocheck recorded a pair of assists on Monday in his first game back after missing 14 contests with an upper-body injury. While he was on the ice, New York enjoyed a 6-2 edge in scoring chances and outscored the Predators 3-1, per Natural Stat Trick.
His recent injury didn’t seem to impact his playing time as Trocheck saw 17 minutes of ice, including time on New York’s second power-play unit.
At DraftKings’ even odds, there’s value backing Trocheck to build on that momentum tonight. A $10 bet can return $10 profit with an implied probability of 50%.
⬆️ Brandon Hagel player prop: Over 2.5 shots (-128) ⭐⭐⭐
Hagel has been the Lightning’s offensive leader over the past two weeks, scoring goals in six of his last seven games and collecting 11 points during that span.
He’s also recorded four shots in back-to-back games and at least three shots in 10 of his last 12. After providing the winning goal in each of Tampa Bay’s previous two games, there’s no reason for Hagel to stop looking for every opportunity to shoot tonight.
FanDuel’s -128 odds suggest a 56.14% chance that Hagel lands at least three shots on target tonight, with the potential to return $7.81 profit on a $10 bet.

🥅 Best Rangers vs. Lightning anytime goal scorer prediction
🔥 Alexis Lafreniere anytime goal scorer (+350) ⭐⭐⭐
Trocheck’s return to the lineup Monday seemed to spark Lafreniere, who recorded a goal and two assists against Nashville. Although the marker was just his third of the season, it was also his second in his last three games.
Another reason to back Lafreniere in the anytime goal market tonight is the price. After paying +290 at FanDuel to score a goal versus the Nashville Predators on Monday, he’s a generous +350 at Caesars to light the lamp tonight against a Tampa defense that could be without Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh.
A $10 bet can be rewarded with $35 profit if Lafreniere scores tonight, with the +350 odds implying a 22.22% probability.
