It's always a bummer when we have a slower night in the NHL, and we have just 3 games on the board tonight. However, there is still value to be had. Such few matchups can mean less opportunity in terms of sides and totals, but the player prop market is always plentiful. We can attack entire rosters of players for several different betting types. Rather than worrying if a team wins or loses, we've broken down the best players to target given tonight's matchups. Along with our player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Let's take a closer look at my 2 favorite player props.
Matthew Tkachuk over 0.5 goals (+148)
First and foremost, there was just as much consideration for Panthers skater Aaron Ekblad to record an assist for our favorite prop in this matchup. Consider that an honorable mention play, and it very well may be Matthew Tkachuk that scores off of his assist. We're targeting the new Panther for several reasons, as he's made an immediate impact for his new team. Tkachuk was acquired via trade from the Calgary Flames in the offseason, and has already proven to be a perfect fit.
