Today's best NHL prop bet picks & predictions, Monday 11/13: McDavid breaks slump

Read our expert’s New York Islanders vs Edmonton Oilers full prediction for tonight’s matchup.

Mikko Rantanen over 0.5 goals (-120)

The Avalanche have hit a little bit of a skid in the past couple weeks. But fortunately for them, the Kraken have not exactly been stellar either. Colorado will look to bounce back from an ugly 8-2 loss to St. Louis. Look for the Avalanche to come out with some urgency on the backs of their superstars to break out of this slump. That being the case, Mikko Rantanen should be a contributor in what could be a higher scoring game.

These teams met last week in a game which the Kraken won 4-3. Given the recent trends of each team, this one has the possibility to be a somewhat sloppy, high scoring game. Mikko Rantanen has a great chance to be part of any offense the Avalanche can generate. He leads the team with 9 goals and 19 points in 13 games played. Rantanen has 3 goals in his last 3 games and plays with fellow star players just about every shift. Look for Rantanen to be a ring leader in a convincing Avalanche win.
