What has been a fantastic sports week ends with one more fantastic sports day on Sunday. The NHL has contributed to the entertainment in a big way with huge Wednesday and Friday slates. Saturday also brought great games for fans and Sunday sets up for a solid finale to this week. The first puck drops at 1PM ET and the final game will approach a midnight ending. This slate involves a few division rival mat chups and should be great viewing for fans.
You can also find out our NHL predictions for every game today, but for now, let’s dive into my best NHL prop bets for this mega slate.
Nikolaj Ehlers over 0.5 points (+100)
The Jets have been a pleasant surprise in the NHL this year. Not that they were expected to be bad. But they are better than preseason expectations indicated. A key contributor of late has been Nikolaj Ehlers who looks to be a favorabele play yet again on Sunday. Ehlers is rolling right now as he has 6 points in his last 6 games. Over that span, the Jets played some very solid teams. It is not like he is collecting points against brutal, stat-padding teams.
The Jets face the Predators on Sunday who sit 10th in the Western Conference with a 9-10-0 record. The Predators have not done much right so far this season. They struggle for consistency as they have not been great on either side of the puck. Winnipeg has played great hockey lately and has a good chance to put up a lopsided number on Sunday. If they do, Ehlers has a good chance to contribute as has recently for this hot team.
