After a light 3-game slate last night, we're back with 12 games tonight. That means plenty of opportunity and tons of value. With it still being early in the season however, it can still be difficult to handicap teams. Thankfully, there is always the player prop market, which provides many more markets to target. Breaking down so many games can seem overwhelming, but we've analyzed each matchup and found the most valuable spots to help have a profitable Thursday night. Along with our player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today 9;s action.
Let's take a closer look at my 2 favorite player props.
Kirill Kaprizov over 0.5 assists (+115)
Kirill Kaprizov may have one of the more frustrating names to say and spell, but he's quietly becoming one of the faces of the NHL. The 25 year-old is coming off of a season in which he had the 4th-most points in the league with 108. That was more than guys like Auston Matthews and Steven Stamkos. Such a young star looks set to impress for years to come, and he's picked up right where he left off. Kaprizov has 5 points in the team's first 3 games, and his production looks like it's going to be needed.'
