It's been quite a yo-yo week in the NHL so far. After a 10-game slate on Tuesday, we had just 3 games on the board last night. We're back with 10 more games, which means plenty of opportunities for profit. If you'd rather not sweat the outcome of a game, then player prop may be the perfect bet type for you. We can focus on individual players' performances rather than the teams as a whole. We've targeted the best matchups on today's slate, and even provided some honorable mentions. 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.
Cole Caufield over 2.5 shots on goal (-160)
There's a whopping 10 games in action tonight, yet we're not exactly starting out with a marquee matchup. The Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres were 2 of the weakest teams in the Eastern Conference last season, but that doesn't mean there isn't individual talent on those teams. The Sabres are actually off to a solid start to the season, but we're targeting Canadien Cole Caufield instead. The 21 year-old looks set to be one of the future faces of the NHL after a stellar season.'
