Below are our top NHL player props for Wednesday, October 28th.
Wednesday's Best NHL Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Jordan Kyrou 1+ Points (-138)
Washington’s Jordan Kyrou is a strong play to score just one point, and the price is shockingly low, to be honest. The Capitals signed him in the offseason to add scoring punch, and the early returns weren’t good. He didn’t score until his fifth game, and he had just one assist and a -5 rating in his first four outings.
However, Kyrou has finally gotten comfortable in his new digs, and he is flourishing lately. He has a goal and six points with an even rating in his last four games, picking up at least one point in each contest.
Yegor Sharangovich Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (-120)
The 28-year-old Belarusian pivot has gone three games without scoring. You can also play the under on his points, though it’s a little more expensive.
However, we’ll go low on Yegor Sharangovich’s shots on goal (SOG) total against the Oilers in the Battle of Alberta. Sharangovich has managed just two (SOG) in the past three games, and he has one or no shots in five of the past six outings.
Brock Nelson Anytime Goal Scorer (+240)
Let’s roll the dice on Brock Nelson scoring against the visiting New Jersey Devils, a team he knows well from his time with the New York Islanders.
Last season, Nelson scored a goal in two games against the Devils, while he had two goals and an assist in two meetings with the Devils in 2024-2025. He had three goals and an assist in four games against New Jersey as a member of the Islanders in 2023-2024. Nelson has eight goals and 11 points in his past 10 meetings versus New Jersey.
William Nylander 3+ Shots on Goal (-130)
The Toronto Maple Leafs pull into Seattle to battle the Kraken in the night’s final game, and William Nylander looks to stay hot. He is on a five-game point streak, with four goals, seven points and a +3 rating during that span.
Nylander has four goals in the past four games, too, and he is a good bet to take plenty of shots to stay hot, whether they go in or not. He has 13 SOG in his last five games and has managed three or more SOG in seven of his last 10 outings. A 70% success rate? Sign us up.
