We're on a solid 5-1 run the last 3 days of player props, including a plus-money play each night. Let's keep things rolling with a slate that has a heck of a lot to like. The Dallas Stars skaters look poised for a big afternoon back at home after an embarrassing loss and if you're willing to pay the heavy price, check out Elias Lindholm of the Calgary Flames to record a point. Minnesota's Mats Zuccarello should also record an assist should he be healthy to go for their game. Having gone through those helpful suggestions, we still even have a bonus play for you today. In other words, let's get into it.
Along with our player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
William Nylander over 0.5 assists (+125)
There's no denying that we're starting things off with a bit of a risk. The Toronto Maple Leafs will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back as they head to Philly to take on the Flyers. However, that is not the risky part. That lies in the fact that William Nylander loves to take his shots as well. Despite that, he's still had at least an assist each of the last 4 games against the Flyers, including 2 of them just a couple of weeks ago.'
Let's not forget his still skates alongside Auston Matthews, fresh off his 60-goal season. Out of superstars Nylander, Matthews, Mitch Marner and John' Tavares, Nylander was the only one not to record a point in the Leafs win last night. You be sure he'll want to get back into the box score against a Philly team he and Toronto has historically owned. As another suggestion on how to play this, you could parlay his overall point prop (around -200) with Lindholm of the Flames (around -170) for another plus-money play. However, we think Nylander could record multiple points so even if you see an early goal, an assist should be on the way.
