Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

Minnesota Wild vs. Florida Panthers

Carter Verhaeghe Anytime Goal Scorer +175

We’ll continue to target the Florida Panthers at home this season. Their offense has the pieces to make life difficult for the Minnesota Wild in this matchup. Carter Verhaeghe has yet to find the back of the net this year, but we don’t expect that trend to continue. The talented forward has registered three assists and 23 shots on goal. Some elements make the Wild a competitive hockey team, but this is a matchup that Florida’s forward core can take full advantage of.

Dallas Stars vs. Buffalo Sabres

Wyatt Johnston Anytime Goal Scorer +200

There’s much to like about how the Dallas Stars have kicked off their regular season. The same can’t be said for the Buffalo Sabres, who host the surging Stars on Tuesday. The Stars are loaded with talent up front, and youngster Wyatt Johnston is just scratching the surface of his capabilities. The shots on goal haven’t been coming at a high clip early, and there’s value in backing Johnston to light the lamp before we see a big jump in that quantity.

Vancouver Canucks vs. Chicago Blackhawks

J.T. Miller Anytime Goal Scorer +200

It looks as though the Vancouver Canucks have started to turn the corner, and they’ll be gifted a great matchup tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks. We’re still waiting for a big offensive breakout from Vancouver, and this is the perfect matchup to target it in. One of the most consistent workers on the Canucks is J.T. Miller. We’re waiting for him to jump off the page with a high-end offensive game, and this is the matchup for it. With Miller priced at above +200 to score, that’s a number we like on this full slate of games.
