Saturday’s Best NHL Player Prop Bets
Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Mitch Marner OVER 1.5 Points (+145)
The Maple Leafs failed to convert their now tenth series-clinching game as they seek to move on in the playoffs for the first time in nearly 20 years. You have to ask yourself if the history of the failure is in the back of their minds.
The one thing that Toronto has been able to do well is puck into the Lightning's zone. Tampa Bay's blue line has been weak throughout the season, and it will be up to Vasilevsky to hold down the crease.
Marner has stayed consistent throughout this series, has multiple points in four of the five games in this series, and has an additional one in the regular season against the Lightning. If they’re going to break through finally, he needs to have a big night.
Chris Kreider UNDER 2.5 Shots On Goal (-125)
The Devils are red hot as they have emerged from a 2-0 hole and are now on the brink of eliminating the Rangers. New Jersey made some changes to the lineup and at goalie with Akira Schmid and allowed just two goals in the last three games.
The players for New York that were hot to start the series have fallen off. For instance, Adam Fox and Vladimir Tarasenko have zero points in their last three games, and Chris Kreider has one.
The Devils have an exceptional blue line, and it played its best game by allowing 22 shots in Game 5. Chris Kreider has been taken out of the equation going from four goals on eight shots in the first two games to one goal on three shots in the last three. The Blue Shirts seem stuck in a rut, and their performance keeps deteriorating. Look for Krieider to be a non-factor.
Leon Draisaitl Anytime Goal (-120)
Every game in this series has been close and exciting, but Game 5 was the first time we saw a dominant game by one team. The Oilers made a line change and paired Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, to which the Kings had no answer. Safe to say those two will be paired up on the first line as they try to end this series.
Regardless of where Draisaitl has been, he's been amazing, with six goals and ten points. Continue to ride him to score in this close-out game.
