Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

San Jose Sharks vs. Detroit Red Wings

Dylan Larkin Anytime Goal Scorer (+150)

The surging Detroit Red Wings are set to host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night. With seven victories in a row, the Red Wings are back in the Eastern Conference playoff mix. The same can’t be said about the Sharks, who’ve struggled for a significant portion of the year with a roster filled with youth. Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has continued to lead by example and has registered 18 goals and 19 assists. Larkin has been hot lately, with five goals over his last five contests. We’re looking toward that hot stretch continuing at home in this strong matchup.

Dallas Stars vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

William Nylander Anytime Goal Scorer (+185)

The Dallas Stars continue their road trip when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday evening. Despite the talent of the Maple Leafs up front, they’ve quietly become a much more defensive team this season, which has hindered some of their offensive numbers. William Nylander has been very quiet to start 2025, but some trends suggest he’s due for a breakout sooner rather than later. Nylander has still put up high-quality numbers with 44 points, and there’s a lot to like about his price point to find the back of the net at home against the Stars here.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Washington Capitals

Alex Ovechkin Anytime Goal Scorer (+100)

The Washington Capitals have a juicy matchup on tap when they welcome the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. Although the Ducks have gotten some strong goaltending this year, that will not stop us from targeting some of these great prices for Capitals players to light the lamp. Alex Ovechkin has continued to turn back the clock and is on a clear mission to set the all-time record for career goals. Ovechkin has tallied 20 goals this year and sits 22 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretyzky’s record of 894. It’s hard to ignore Ovechkin in a matchup that heavily favors the Capitals at home.
