With a few of the teams fighting for playoff positioning, we’re expecting some high-energy performances and plenty of betting value. We think you’re going to love what we’ve found for tonight’s props.

Auston Matthews Over 0.5 Assists

  • Player Prop Odds: +110

Matthews isn't just a goal-scorer — he's been racking up assists hand over fist on the road lately. He’s recorded at least 1 in each of Toronto’s last 8 away games, making this plus-money line one of the most attractive bets of the night.

Vegas has been strong at home, of course, but their penalty kill isn't what we’d call elite. On top of that, Matthews is heavily involved in the power play which means he’ll have a chance or two to hit this.

With Mitch Marner and William Nylander finishing plays on this killer line, this is a solid value.

Robert Thomas Over 0.5 Assists

  • Player Prop Odds: +115

Thomas is one of the most consistent playmakers in the NHL right now and it’s easy to see why.

He’s picked up an assist in 10 straight games, which is incredible for a player who is still getting plus odds on this prop.

The Kings play a fairly structured defensive game, but their PK ranks middle of the pack. Given that Thomas quarterbacks the Blues' offense and power play, there’s a good chance he’ll notch yet another assist.

His chemistry with Jordan Kyrou gives this bet a strong chance of hitting and at +115, we love it.

Ryan Strome Over 0.5 Points

Player Prop Odds: +115

Strome has been quietly productive for the Ducks. He’s notched at least a point in 4 of his last 6 games which makes him a good candidate for the over.

Anaheim may not be a powerhouse, but they’ve been scoring in droves lately, and Strome has been involved in those plays most of the time.

The Canucks' defense has been solid but not what we would consider invincible. With Strome seeing consistent top-6 minutes night after night and his power play time, this plus-money prop at +115 is worth adding to your bet slip.

Noah Hanifin Over 0.5 Points

  • Player Prop Odds: +110

Hanifin has been one of the more consistent blue-line contributors for the Golden Knights. He’s picked up at least 1 point in 5 of his last 6 games which is insane.

To take that a step further, Toronto’s defense has been inconsistent. So, this game should have plenty of offensive chances.

If Vegas gets rolling offensively, Hanifin will likely be involved in the action, whether it's with a secondary assist or a point shot leading to a goal. Either way, +110 isn’t a bad look for someone this hot.

Quinn Hughes Under 0.5 Points

  • Player Prop Odds: +155

Hughes is an elite defenseman and nobody is questioning that; however, this line is intriguing to us for its plus money.

Anaheim isn’t great, but they have a decent PK unit and will likely focus on shutting down Vancouver’s top scorers like Hughes and DeBrusk.

Hughes has also gone pointless in 2 of his last 4 games, showing he’s not a lock to hit the scoresheet every night which is where this bet comes in.

At +155, fading Hughes in a potential lower-scoring game offers some sneaky great value.

This slate has some great plus-money options — especially with Matthews and Thomas both riding hot assist streaks.

Strome and Hanifin have been quietly productive, and fading Hughes at such a strong price could pay off if Anaheim keeps things tight defensively.
