Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

Dallas Stars vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

Roope Hintz Anytime Goal Scorer +220

With where things stand with the Pittsburgh Penguins, it’s hard to trust them in this spot against a premiere Western Conference club in the Dallas Stars. The Penguins are a team we’ll continue to target with opposing offenses. Although he hasn’t lit the world on fire to begin the year, Roope Hintz is a consistent offensive presence for the Stars. The underlying numbers are positive for Hintz, and more goals are on the horizon sooner than later.

Nashville Predators vs. Colorado Avalanche

Cale Makar Anytime Goal Scorer +330

It hasn’t been the start to the season that the Nashville Predators brass envisioned after a strong offseason. The Preds will face a team on the rise in the Colorado Avalanche. Although the depth might not be there at this stage, the Avalanche don’t lack star power. Cale Makar has been on an absolute tear to start the season and is a consistent threat to light the lamp nightly. Makar’s price is appealing and one we’re looking at on this slate.

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Vegas Golden Knights

Jack Eichel Anytime Goal Scorer +160

With how the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights have looked through one month of the year, it’s not hard to envision these two teams making deep runs in the postseason. With the Hurricanes' recent win streak snapped, this might be a good chance for the Golden Knights to pounce in this matchup at home. Jack Eichel has started the year with a bang and looks healthy for the first time in a while. That’s an encouraging sign, and it’s precisely the area we will target in the goal-scoring department tonight.
