My Red Wings vs. Sabres player props and NHL best bets tonight feature two plus-money plays. I’m leaning toward Detroit in my NHL picks, with Dylan Larkin driving the value.

The Atlantic Division matchup gets underway at 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT/HBO Max) from KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. The Sabres are a -115 betting favorite at some sportsbooks, though several books list the matchup as a pick'em.

šŸ’° Best player prop bets for Red Wings vs. Sabres

Our NHL player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

ā¬†ļø Dylan Larkin Over 0.5 assists (+105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Larkin is on an absolute heater to start the season, with 11 points through six games for the 5-1-0 Red Wings.

That includes tallying at least one assist in four of six contests, and he totaled five apples in his previous two games against the Sabres last season. I considered backing the Over on his 1.5 points total (+200 at Caesars). But let's target him to get a helper instead against a Buffalo team that's a bit stingier on the back end this year.

DraftKings is offering slightly better odds (+105) than Caesars (+100) on this prop. Head there to place your wager, where a $10 bet will profit $10.50, with an implied probability of 48.78%. Our Gary Pearson also likes Larkin to tally at least three shots on goal in his NHL player props today.


ā¬‡ļø Tage Thompson Under 3.5 shots on goal (-162) ⭐⭐⭐

Sabres forward Tage Thompson has only gone Over this total in half of his games this season. This is only a three-star play due to the price, but I love our chances for this play to hit, especially given the opponent.

Detroit has allowed the second-fewest shots on goal this season and the fewest power-play opportunities against (13). The Red Wings are certainly not the team Thompson wants to see right now to shake out of his offensive slump.

The -162 odds translate to an implied probability of 61.83%, with a winning $10 ticket bringing home $6.17 in profit.

šŸ”„ Alex DeBrincat anytime goal scorer (+185) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alex DeBrincat is still searching for his first goal of the campaign, but it's not for a lack of trying.

He's tied for the team lead with 20 shots on goal and currently sits at 2.1 goals below expected, according to MoneyPuck. Let's back the Michigan native to get off the schneid tonight against a division rival.

Among the best sports betting sites, DraftKings is offering the best odds at +185 (35.09%). A $10 wager would lead to an $18.50 profit.
