💰 Best player props for Stars vs. Lightning
⬆️ Mikko Rantanen Over 0.5 power-play points (+135) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Eight of Rantanen's 12 points this year have come on the NHL's third-best power play (31.42%).
Rantanen has accounted for a power-play point in four straight games and has shown he's nearly as lethal a shooter as he is a passer on the man advantage.
BetMGM has +135 odds on this Stars vs. Lightning player prop, where a $10 bet could result in a $13.50 profit with an implied probability of 42.55%.
⬇️ Nikita Kucherov Under 3.5 shots on goal (-142) ⭐⭐⭐
Kucherov is averaging 2.9 shots on goal per game and has gone Under this total in more than half of his appearances.
He also failed to hit four SOG in both of his head-to-head matchups versus the Stars last season. This is only a three-star play due to the price, but I feel great about the probability of this one hitting.
Among the best sports betting sites, DraftKings has the best odds at -142 (58.68%). A winning $10 wager will earn $7.04 in profit.
🥅 Best Stars vs. Lightning anytime goal scorer prediction
🔥 Jason Robertson anytime goal scorer (+180) ⭐⭐⭐
Robertson hasn't been getting the results so far this season (3 goals), but he's playing as well offensively as anybody around the league when you dig into the underlying numbers.
The Stars forward has the second-most expected goals (7.6) but an NHL-leading 4.5 goals scored below expected, per MoneyPuck. Positive regression has to be coming for one of the league's most-talented goal scorers, who has tallied 30-plus goals three times in his career.
Head to DraftKings for the best odds on a Robertson anytime goal, where a $10 bet nets an $18 profit with an implied probability of 35.71%.
I featured three more goal scorers for Thursday night's slate in my NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today, including the Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho, who scored against Robertson's Stars last weekend.
