Stop scrolling and start cashing. The best NHL bets tonight aren’t moneylines or totals, they’re player props. These three picks are loaded with value based on matchups and recent trends. If you want the edge, then these are the bets to beat the books.
Brady Tkachuk has been having a strong start to his NHL playoff campaign against the Toronto Maple Leafs. During this series he has three goals, three assists, and a +3 plus-minus. The captain has shown up in each game trying to help the team prevail against their archrivals.
The Maple Leafs give up the ninth-most shots on goal to left-wingers, which makes this a favorable matchup for Tkachuk. In this five-game span, he has averaged 4.1 shots on goal. In those games, he has hit his over in 4/5, while also hitting 6/10 in his last 10 games vs. Toronto. Expect him to be even more aggressive tonight with the Senators being down 3-2 in the series.
Joel Eriksson Ek’s over 2.5 shots on goal line is a must play for tonight’s pivotal game 6 against the Vegas Golden Knights due to his consistent volume shooting and top line center role. In this playoff series, Eriksson Ek is leading the wild with 19 shots on goal, hitting the over 2.5 line in 4/5 games.
His aggressiveness to shoot the puck has been key for the Wild’s offense thus far. As the team’s top line center, he is logging heavy minutes at even strength and on the power play all focus will be on Eriksson Ek. With Minnesota facing elimination, he is expected to do a lot of the heavy lifting to force a Game 7.
The over 2.5 shots on goal line for Adrian Kempe is always a must play while facing the Edmonton Oilers. Kempe has been a thorn in the Oilers side, especially in the NHL playoffs. He has hit the over on his shots on goal in 4/5 during this current series, and in the last 10 playoff games vs Edmonton he has hit in 8/10. His speed on the wing and aggressiveness to attack make him a natural volume shooter and one of the best in doing so in the NHL.
Kempe plays top-line minutes and is the focal point of the Los Angeles Kings’ power play, where he isn’t shy about letting the puck fly. With the Kings looking to keep their hopes alive in the series, Kempe will be leaned on heavily to make things happen.
Before locking in any NHL bets for tonight’s games, make sure to include these three high-value player props. Tkachuk, Eriksson Ek, and Kempe each bring a proven track record of volume shooting in crucial moments, and all three have the perfect game script to achieve their overs. Bet smart and maximize your value tonight, these picks are where the focus should be on.
