Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

Nashville Predators vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

John Tavares Anytime Goal Scorer (+210)

The Toronto Maple Leafs welcome the Nashville Predators on Wednesday night. The Maple Leafs enter this clash playing some strong hockey, led by their former captain, John Tavares. Tavares has looked rejuvenated without the captaincy and has quietly been playing some really strong hockey in Toronto. Tavares has tallied 11 goals and 11 assists, putting up the type of production the Leafs need from their second-line center. With the Predators' disappointment this year, this is a nice matchup for Tavares to continue finding the back of the net.

Boston Bruins vs. Chicago Blackhawks

Connor Bedard Anytime Goal Scorer (+240)

On Wednesday, the Chicago Blackhawks head home to play host to the Boston Bruins. Although the Bruins need to continue picking up points in the Eastern Conference, they haven’t been the dominant team we’ve been accustomed to lately. Connor Bedard hasn’t had the production many people expected he would in his sophomore campaign, but the underlying numbers suggest he’s due for a big bump in points. Bedard’s price to light the lamp remains in a range we’re comfortable considering.

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Anaheim Ducks

William Karlsson Anytime Goal Scorer (+260)

The Vegas Golden Knights have a strong matchup to look forward to on Wednesday when they visit the Anaheim Ducks. Even with the Golden Knights playing for the second night in a row, that shouldn’t eliminate some of the value in this juicy matchup against the lackluster Ducks. After having the second-best year of his career last season, William Karlsson hasn’t gotten off to the start many expected, but that shouldn’t stop us from looking in his direction to do damage against the team he entered the NHL with.
