Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

New York Islanders vs. Columbus Blue Jackets

Adam Fantilli Anytime Goal Scorer +330

There’s been much to like about how the Columbus Blue Jackets play. Not much has separated the Blue Jackets from the New York Islanders early on, and there’s some good value to be had in this Metropolitan Division battle. Adam Fantilli is still experiencing growing pains, but he’s starting to figure things out at both ends of the ice. He’s already found the back of the net three times this season, and these +330 odds on him to score are pretty appealing.

Winnipeg Jets vs. Detroit Red Wings

Nikolaj Ehlers Anytime Goal Scorer +240

After their first loss of the year on Monday night, the Winnipeg Jets are back in action tonight as the road team against the Detroit Red Wings. On paper, the Red Wings should struggle in this matchup against a Winnipeg team that’s elite on the forecheck and at creating rush chances. Nikolaj Ehlers has been a major offensive sparkplug for the Jets this year, and his his goal odds still haven’t quite caught up to his overall production level.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Colorado Avalanche

Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goal Scorer +110

It was a slow start to the season for the Colorado Avalanche. Still, they’ve quietly found their game and are back in the mix. The Avalanche are set to collide with the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 2022 Stanley Cup Finals rematch. If there’s one player you want to target when they're on a heater, it’s Nathan MacKinnon of the Avalanche. MacKinnon has been on a tear lately and has helped drag the team out of the basement. When MacKinnon is hot like he has been the last week and change, few can stop him from filling the net with goals. These +110 odds are reasonable for an elite player who is in great form.
