Today's Best NHL Player Prop Bets

Mikko Rantanen OVER 0.5 Assists (-140)
As the season wraps up, the defending champs are playing great at the right time. They've won eight of their last ten and hold the tiebreaker for first against the Stars. Colorado has dealt with injuries all season, and it seems Artturi Lehkonen and Cal Makar will not play.
The top line of Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen has been fantastic all year. The Avs have lost both matchups against the Kings this season, but Rantanen has come away with three assists in those games and has ten in his last three games. In this important matchup, I expect him to grab at least one.
Miro Heiskanen UNDER 2.5 Shots On Goal (-115)
For the Stars, staying on pace with the Avalanche is important. They’ve done well with that by winning four of their last five games, but the four wins were against non-playoff teams, and that only loss was against Colorado.
Facing the Golden Knights will be a challenge. They're playing near the level of earlier in the season when they were by far the best team in the West.
Miro Heiskanen is a tremendous two-way defenseman. He is an excellent puck facilitator, but he won't take the shot himself, so take the under against above-average Golden Knights' defense.
Aleksander Barkov OVER 1.5 Points (+150)
Every Panthers game is a must-win as they hold a narrow lead in the Eastern Conference Wild Card race. They've gotten in this position thanks to five straight wins and the offense pushing hard by averaging nearly five goals per game.
The contributions go through each forward unit, and even the blue line has been getting in on the action. Aleksander Barkov has been on fire with nine points in his last two games and has performed well against the Capitals this year, grabbing four points in two games. I'm confident he can get a multi-point game against a team with nothing to play for.
