Tuesday brings a great 9-game slate in the NHL, and we have you covered from all angles. That includes the player prop market where we went 2-0 yesterday. With some significant mismatches on the board, you may not want to pay such steep prices for teams to win games. Instead, we can target individual skaters to perform well. Our favorite 2 spots for tonight involve games with heavy favorites, so we've provided more valuable ways to have action in those games. They're each in the first time slot of games, so let's get right into it.'
Along with our player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Jesper Bratt over 0.5 assists (+120)
There aren't many teams struggling as much as the Montreal Canadiens recently, and we're going to capitalize on that tonight. They're facing a very strong Devils team in New Jersey tonight after allowing 11 goals across their last 2 games. One of the primary reasons for the Devils great season is the MVP-caliber season of Jack Hughes. Him being back healthy on the ice provides an elite goal-scorer for Bratt to link up with.'
Along with Nico Hischier, we're expecting Bratt to notch another assist to his already strong season. Of his 54 points through 56 games, 32 have been assists. He's also enjoyed facing the Canadiens throughout his career. Bratt has a great streak of 5 straight games with an assist against Montreal. There's no reason to expect that to end with the Canadiens allowing the 4th-most goals on the road this season. We're also anticipating a multi-point game for Hughes, but we'll roll with Bratt to come through for us like he did earlier this season.'''
