Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

Dallas Stars vs. Ottawa Senators

Brady Tkachuk Anytime Goal Scorer (+175)

The Ottawa Senators and Dallas Stars are both set to play for the second day in a row on Sunday. Neither the Stars nor the Senators have lived up to their respective expectations, which could create some urgency and offense in this matchup. The Senators haven’t been able to get over the hump with this current core group of players, and if that’s ever going to change, Brady Tkachuk is going to be a big reason why.

Tkachuk has been contributing offensively for the Senators, and with Ottawa controlling the matchups at home, there’s value in him exploiting an inconsistent Dallas squad here today.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Carolina Hurricanes

Seth Jarvis Anytime Goal Scorer (+145)

The Carolina Hurricanes and Anaheim Ducks are set to collide on Sunday evening. The Hurricanes got some rest on Saturday, but the same can’t be said for the Ducks, who were in Philadelphia. A lot separates the Ducks and Hurricanes, and the home side being rested here only increases the value of some of their top scorers.

Seth Jarvis has been a key cog in the Hurricanes offense, having registered 30 points and 96 shots on goal. In this juicy matchup against a lackluster Anaheim team, it’s easy to get excited about the price for Jarvis to light the lamp.

Minnesota Wild vs. Vegas Golden Knights

Jack Eichel Anytime Goal Scorer (+160)

Two top teams in the Western Conference will face off on Sunday night, with the Vegas Golden Knights hosting the Minnesota Wild. Both these teams are entering this matchup on the second leg of a back-to-back. The Golden Knights have been an outstanding home team this year while the Wild have been sensational on the road. Something has to give. The Golden Knights have more value in their prices and more high-end talent in general.

Jack Eichel has been dominant with his point totals, but he’s left something to be desired with his goal-scoring numbers. Eichel’s price is a value in this matchup at home against the Wild, and it’s one worth considering.
