Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

Utah Hockey Club vs. New York Rangers

Alexis Lafreniere Anytime Goal Scorer (+240)

There are no two ways around it; the New York Rangers are a tough team to beat in general -- but especially at home. There were a lot of positives to take from their opening win, and the one that stuck out the most was Alexis Lafreniere. The talented winger found the back of the net in Game 1 and also added an assist in the victory. We’ve continued to see consistent progress from the former top pick, and all signs point to a big production boost in 2024-25. This is a price that is really appealing on Saturday night.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

William Nylander Anytime Goal Scorer (+140)

Despite the lack of production, it’s been a strong start to the regular season for some of the Toronto Maple Leafs star players. The success is coming from their big guns, and we’re getting a better price now because of what’s transpired over two games. William Nylander is the player you should have your sights set on here. Nylander was buzzing on opening night in Montreal and followed that up with a good showing in New Jersey. With no points through two games and a great scoring environment on tap in Toronto’s home opener, there’s definitive value in Nylander to find the back of the net.

Ottawa Senators vs. Montreal Canadiens

Tim Stutzle Anytime Goal Scorer (+220)

The biggest thing the Ottawa Senators need to do this season is get off to a fast start and shake some of the narratives surrounding this core group. The Sens knocked off the defending Stanley Cup champs in their home opener. A big reason for that was the play of their young German star, Tim Stutzle. The former third-overall pick scored twice in Game 1 and has notoriously been a streaky scorer. A big season is expected from Stutzle, and he’s scored three goals over his past four games against Montreal. This is a nice price for him to record goals in back-to-back games.
