NHL Predictions Today: Player Props, Best Bets

Edmonton Oilers Moneyline (-154)

Rangers at Oilers — 8:00 p.m. ET

Edmonton enters Monday with a 12-3-3 record, compared to a 10-7-1 mark for New York. The Rangers have particularly struggled away from home, going just 2-5-1 on the road. That makes this a welcoming spot for the Oilers, who have gone 6-2-2 over their past 10 games.

Edmonton's offense is also coming off an impressive performance in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Vancouver. Leon Draisaitl scored twice and added an assist while Connor McDavid recorded three helpers. The Rangers have been relatively effective at limiting shots, but Edmonton has enough high-end offensive talent to overcome that advantage.

With New York struggling on the road, the Oilers are my favorite ML bet tonight.

Philadelphia Flyers Moneyline (-134)

Flyers at Canucks — 9:30 p.m. ET

Philadelphia hasn't enjoyed a particularly strong start to the season, entering Monday with a 4-10-5 record. However, Vancouver has been even worse, sitting at 3-15-1 while losing nine of its past 10 games. The Canucks have also struggled mightily at Rogers Arena, going just 1-7-0 on home ice.

Vancouver's recent struggles are especially concerning. The Canucks have dropped five consecutive games in regulation, including Saturday's 4-2 defeat against Edmonton.

Philadelphia is playing on consecutive nights after Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to Calgary, so fatigue is a legitimate concern. However, the Flyers generated three goals against the Flames and should have opportunities to produce offense against a Vancouver team that has struggled mightily at home.

Macklin Celebrini Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (-120)

Islanders at Sharks — 10:00 p.m. ET

Macklin Celebrini is the focal point of San Jose's offense, and his shooting volume makes this an intriguing plus-money prop.

Through 17 games this season, Celebrini has recorded 71 shots on goal, averaging 4.18 per contest. He's also averaging 23:08 of ice time, giving him plenty of opportunities to generate scoring chances.

Celebrini has been especially productive as a shooter against the Islanders, recording at least four shots on goal in each of his past three meetings with the Isles. He's averaged 6.7 shots across those three contests, comfortably exceeding Monday's line.

His substantial ice time and established shooting volume make the over appealing.

NHL Betting -- Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Puck Line in NHL Betting?

The puck line is hockey's version of a point spread. The standard puck line is usually set at 1.5 goals, meaning a team listed at -1.5 must win by at least two goals for the bet to cash. A team at +1.5 can either win outright or lose by one goal.

What Does the Moneyline Mean in NHL Betting?

A moneyline bet is a wager on which team will win the game. Favorites have negative odds, while underdogs have positive odds. Unlike the puck line, the margin of victory does not matter.

What Are NHL Player Props?

NHL player props allow bettors to wager on an individual player's performance rather than the final result of the game. Common markets include goals, assists, points, shots on goal, and goalie saves.

What Should You Consider When Betting on NHL Games?

Several factors can influence NHL betting decisions, including starting goaltenders, injuries, recent team performance, special-teams play, expected line combinations, and whether a team is playing on consecutive nights. Because goalie confirmations can significantly impact a matchup, it can be useful to check the latest lineup news before placing a bet.
