Tonight’s NHL schedule is absolutely packed with great matchups, and that means there are plenty of excellent NHL player props on the board for you to take full advantage of.
We’ve found a good mix of high-value longshots and plus-money picks based on recent form, matchup trends, and consistent production from these players and that means more money in your pocket.
Here are 5 of the best prop bets worth an extra look for tonight.
Player Prop Odds: +105
Pastrnak is known for lighting the lamp, but don’t sleep on his playmaking as it has been just as sharp.
He’s picked up at least one helper in 8 of the Bruins’ last 9 games against Montreal and we don’t see him slowing down for tonight’s matchup because the Canadiens continue to struggle defensively. They’ve given up 12 goals to Boston in just 2 meetings this season, and Pastrnak has been in the middle of it all. He has the skills and gets the ice time in both 5 on 5 and the power play unit.
With 56 assists on the season and playing on a dominant top line, getting plus money for him to set one up is some seriously insane value. Montreal ranks in the middle of the pack in PK% and shots allowed per game, so he’ll undoubtedly have the chances.
Player Prop Odds: -135
Lane Hutson isn’t a household name — yet. However, the young defenseman has been quietly effective. He’s recorded at least one assist in each of Montreal’s last 4games as favorites, and while they’re underdogs here, the role and ice time haven’t changed. In fact, in his last 2 games, he’s had 3 helpers in each. This blue-liner is on fire.
He’s quarterbacking the second power-play unit and joins in on the rushes often. Boston’s aggressive forecheck opens up some chances on the counterattack, which suits Hutson’s game.
He’s hit this prop in 4 straight and offers consistency on a team thin on playmakers. The odds aren’t the best, but sometimes you just need to knock out an easy prop for some easy money.
Player Prop Odds: +170
While the anytime goalscorer props can be hit or miss, here’s a juicy plus-money goalscorer bet with a strong trend backing it.
Johnston has scored a goal in each of the Stars’ last 6 games against Western Conference opponents. Now he gets a matchup with Nashville, who struggle defending speed in transition.
Dallas has elite depth, and Johnston often takes advantage of weaker defensive pairings. He is already on a 5 game goal streak and he’s hit 30 goals this season, and his confidence is only growing. Against the Preds who are near the bottom of the NHL in goals allowed at 3.27 on the season, Johnston can’t lose on this bet.
At +170, this is ridiculous value for a player in a solid rhythm against a familiar type of opponent. This is easily one of the best NHL prop bets of the night.
Player Prop Odds: -162
This one is simple but a slam dunk on a prop if we’ve ever seen one.
Monahan is on an 8-game home point streak, and the Avs have been leaking chances on the road lately. Colorado gives up over 3.2 goals per game away from Ball Arena, and Monahan has quietly been one of Columbus’s more consistent offensive options. Sure, he missed a good part of February and a little bit of March due to an injury, he’s shown that he’s back and he’s in top shape.
Even though the Blue Jackets are underdogs in this matchup, Monahan is already seeing top-line minutes and power-play exposure. He’s also quietly averaged 2.5+ shots per game in this home stretch, so he’s getting chances to contribute directly.
We must admit that the juice is a bit heavy, but if you’re looking for a reliable single or parlay piece, this one fits the bill.
Player Prop Odds: +1300
Go big or go home, right? Here’s a high-risk, high-reward dart that’s actually backed by some decent numbers.
Tkachuk has opened the scoring twice in his last 5 games and leads Ottawa with 29 goalsthise year. He’s also heavily featured on the top line and first power play unit, so ice time isn’t an issue. On top of that, going up against the Dominant lightning, the Sens are going to need him out there early and often.
Tampa Bay can be vulnerable early — especially on the road — and Tkachuk plays with the kind of energy that jumps off the puck drop. He leads the team in shots and hits, which means he’s involved constantly and not waiting for plays to come to him. He’s aggressive and that’s going to play right into this prop bet.
If you’re like us and love betting on longshots that have a legit path to cashing, this is one of the better ones on tonight’s board.
Thursday nights always offer a solid mix of prop angles and tonight’s no different — consistent assist producers, goal scorers in favorable matchups, and even longshot value if you're feeling a bit bold.
Pastrnak and Hutson both offer high-floor assist props, while Johnston and Tkachuk could help you cash in with some goals. Monahan brings that steady veteran presence if you're looking for a reliable points prop. With these 5 players, you should have no problem making some money tonight.
Whether you’re building a multi-leg parlay or riding with singles, these 5 props are backed by form, hot trends, and the matchups to make them worth your bankroll tonight.
