If you tailed our NHL bets yesterday, you would have done pretty well, as we went three-for-six in our NHL player prop picks. While we're not thrilled, consistency is key. We've done the research and are proud to give you our NHL best bets so you can save time and get back to the action.
Without further ado, here are our top NHL player props, anytime goal scorer picks, and a juicy parlay.
NHL Anytime Goal Scorer Picks
Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goal Scorer (-125)
🏒 Odds via FanDuel 🥅
One of my favorite rules during the 2025-26 season is that if Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche are in action, bet on him. It really doesn't matter which prop, he's been making us a ton of money this season.
The Colorado Avalanche get to face off against a team that allows 3.50 goals per game (T-29th in the NHL), and MacKinnon will be salivating at the opportunity to go nuts.
MacKinnon is on a truly historic run at the moment, popping off at least six shots on goal in six consecutive games, while getting at least four off in 10 straight contests.
It's worth remembering that these two teams met on November 22nd, with Colorado winning 3-0 with MacKinnon getting on the board.
Kirill Kaprizov Anytime Goal Scorer (+105)
🏒 Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 🥅
We are absolutely drooling over Kaprizov tonight, as the Wild look to extend their winning streak to three after having a tough stretch where they lost three out of four against inferior opposition.
After routing the Dallas Stars, arguably the second-best team in hockey, 5-2 the other night, they'll look to send a message to the rest of the league by whooping the Senators at home.
Look for Kaprizov to have a monster game in a Wild rout.
Macklin Celebrini Anytime Goal Scorer (+169)
🏒 Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 🥅
There's been a lot of talk about Macklin Celebrini potentially earning a spot on the Team Canada roster for the upcoming Olympics in the last week. The 19-year-old is third in the league in points this season and will hope to impress Sidney Crosby tonight, who was named to the Team Canada roster in June.
This is a big, big game for Celebrini's future. We all know how powerful Crosby's recommendation could be, and they've already forged a great friendship. Now, it's time to deliver a lasting impression that could solidify his spot in Milano Cortina.
NHL Player Props
Matthew Schaefer 1+ Points (-115)
🏒 Odds via FanDuel 🥅
With leading scorer Bo Horvat out of tonight's game with a lower-body injury, it's Matthew Schaefer's time to step up and take over from the back.
Schaefer has only become better as his rookie season has progressed. With Horvat out, Kyle Palmeiri and Alexander Romanov out for the season, and Ethan Bear on IR, the Islanders are very banged up.
Despite all the injuries, the Islanders usually play up to the level of their opponents, and with the Tampa Bay Lightning in town, they'll probably have a decent game.
Nikita Kucherov 2+ Points (+112)
🏒 Odds via Caesars Sportsbook 🥅
There's a lot of uncertainty happening with the Islanders tonight, which could allow Tampa Bay star Nikita Kucherov to have yet another phenomenal game.
Last time out on the ice, Kucherov delivered a fantastic four-assist performance in an 8-4 win over the Devils.
In fact, in his last ten games, Kucherov has contributed four goals and an eye-watering 17 assists for an average of 2.1 points per game.
Alex DeBrincat 5+ Shots on Goal (+260)
🏒 Odds via FanDuel 🥅
We usually bet on DeBrincat to deliver us four shots on goal on a nightly basis. However, tonight, they get to play the Chicago Blackhawks, who have made the word struggling an understatement over the past few weeks.
DeBrincat just saw his five-game point streak get snapped and we think he'll do all the extra work necessary to get back on the score sheet tonight.
