Sundays may be all about the NFL for some, but after going 11-4 over my last 15 NHL player props, let's make it a profitable day on the ice as well. There's a slightly smaller slate with just 5 games on the board, but some great spots to target. Several skaters look set for big games, but being at home seems to have their prices inflated. Therefore, we're going to target players with more value. I'll be sure to give out those honorable mentions if you're willing to pay the premium, but let's dive into our official players.
Along with our player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Andre Burakovsky over 0.5 points (-170)
Don't look now, but the Seattle Kraken may cause some serious problems for teams vying for a postseason spot down the road. After taking down the Western Conference-leading Vegas Golden Knights on Friday night, they've now won 4 straight games. In fact, that's brought them to 12-5-3 and behind only those Knights for the best record in the Pacific Division. One of the primary pieces of their success has been Andre Burakovsky. He came over from the Colorado Avalanche after winning the Stanley Cup last season. He just scored 2 goals against Vegas, who are the 3rd-best goaltending team in the NHL.'
Now he and the Kraken get to take on the Anaheim Ducks, who have been abysmal in almost every regard. They're allowing the most shots per game and the 2nd-most goals per game. With the way stat-keepers have been with shots on goal this season, we're sticking with the point prop. Even if the Ducks weren't allowing over 4 goals per game, Seattle's offense has been on fire with Burakovsky leading the way. They're scoring the 7th-most goals per game overall and the 5th-most on the road. The former Av has recorded 5 points in the Kraken's last 2 games and scored a goal against the Ducks in the season opener, so expect another strong outing.'''
