Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

Josh Anderson Anytime Goal Scorer +500

Hockey’s most storied rivalry takes center stage on Saturday night, with the Toronto Maple Leafs hosting the Montreal Canadiens. The Maple Leafs are in action for the second night in a row, which could spell some fatigue for the home side. Although his numbers haven’t been there lately, Josh Anderson loves playing against his hometown team. Anderson has been effective in his role this season for the Habs, and there’s value in his +500 odds to find the back of the net tonight.

New Jersey Devils vs. New York Islanders

Jack Hughes Anytime Goal Scorer +170

Last season was a struggle for the New Jersey Devils as they battled through a campaign filled with injuries. The Devils have gotten right back in this mix this time and are one of the top teams in the NHL. With the way the Devils' offense has been rolling, there’s a lot to like about this matchup versus the New York Islanders. Jack Hughes is coming off a dominant showing against Montreal on Thursday. He’s slowly getting his confidence back, and that’s bad news for the Islanders.

Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks

Connor McDavid Anytime Goal Scorer +160

A rematch of last year’s postseason will see the Edmonton Oilers visit the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. With one game under his belt since returning from injury, Connor McDavid is poised to make an impact in this all-Canadian tilt. Although we haven’t seen the best of McDavid this season, this is a matchup where he can thrive. There was some juice to his game on Wednesday against Vegas, and we can expect the same energy in this Hockey Night in Canada showdown.
