Wednesday's Best NHL Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Tage Thompson 1+ Assists (+102) & 4+ Shots on Goal (+122)
In the Senators-Sabres game at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+, we’re going to look at the red-hot Tage Thompson to get the job done. It’s too expensive to take him to log just one point, actually, as he’ll cost you more than 2.5 times your potential return.
He has blown up for five goals and seven points with a plus-4 rating in his past two games, including a hat trick in a wild 7-6 win at Anaheim on Oct. 29. He is also working on a three-game point streak with five goals and eight points. For an assist, he is near even-money.
In addition, we’ll take Thompson for two prop plays. Let’s look to Thompson to take at least four or more shots on goal (SOG). He had eight shots in Saturday’s 3-2 win in Los Angeles, and he has 18 SOG in the past three games, or 6.0 SOG per outing, with at least four shots in three in a row, and five of his past seven outings. At plus-money, it’s a strong play, and if you combine the two props, that same-game parlay (SGP) pays a total of (+289)
Sam Reinhart Anytime Goal Scorer (+145)
The Blackhawks stroll into Sunrise for the first TNT/truTV game against the Panthers. Chicago’s Spencer Knight has managed a 4-8-0 record, 3.28 GAA and .894 SV%, so he has been obviously very giving. He could have a little extra incentive against his former organization, but it might not matter.
The Panthers have averaged 4.0 goals per game (GPG) in the past four outings, and that means we’re certainly taking an Anytime Goal Scorer for Florida. Sam Reinhart is a strong play as an Anytime Goal Scorer, and he has three goals during a three-game scoring streak. He also has eight goals and 13 points in the past 10 outings.
Alex Laferriere 3+ Shots on Goal (-135)
Looking to the battle of California, the Sharks and Kings do battle at Crypto.com Arena on TNT/truTV in the second end of the doubleheader at 10:00 p.m. ET.
The Sharks allow 30.4 SOG per game, which ranks 30th in the NHL. Enter Laferriere, who has notched 15 SOG in the past three games, or 5.0 SOG per outing. And, that’s during a three-game scoreless skid. He’s going to keep shooting, trying to snap out of his skid, and he’ll find plenty of open spaces against the defensively-challenged Sharks.
