Today’s Top NHL Player Prop Picks

Utah Hockey Club vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

William Nylander Anytime Goal Scorer (+135)

On Sunday, the lone matchup in the NHL features the Toronto Maple Leafs hosting the Utah Hockey Club. The Hockey Club will play in Game 2 of a back-to-back, which could cause some trouble against a rested Maple Leafs squad. Still, the Maple Leafs are dealing with many injuries, which has helped create some attractive goal-scoring prices in this matchup.

With some questions about the quality of the Maple Leafs' depth entering this clash, we’ll look toward their star power up front to find value. William Nylander has continued to produce for the Maple Leafs after signing a significant contract extension. Nylander has already tallied 13 goals, and there’s a lot to like about his price point in a matchup with a depleted Toronto forward group.
