Sportsbook Review betting analyst Neil Parker shares his top Connor Bedard NHL player props for Thursday's game between the Chicago Blackhawks and Colorado Avalanche. All of our NHL picks are based on the NHL odds from our best sports betting apps.
Chicago Blackhawks rookie Connor Bedard was finally held off the scoresheet during Monday's 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Still, the rookie remained dangerous with four shots, six attempts and a pair of high-danger scoring chances across his 18:34 of ice time.
Thursday's date with the Colorado Avalanche will be another tough test. The Avs are out to a 3-0 start and among the favorites in the Stanley Cup odds. So, how will the Calder Trophy favorite fare in the Mile-High City on Thursday?
Here are our best Connor Bedard NHL player prop predictions for Thursday's game against Colorado (odds via our best NHL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Colorado has surrendered four goals through its first three games and just 2.47 expected goals and 9.2 high-danger scoring chances per 60 minutes at five-on-five. Additionally, in Saturday's game against the bottom-feeding San Jose Sharks, the Avs dominated 5v5 possession with a 68.7 Corsi For percentage.
The Blackhawks boast Bedard, but the rest of their roster might as well be a carbon copy of the Sharks.
So, with the benefit of the last change, I'm anticipating Avs head coach Jared Bednar to match No. 1 center Nathan MacKinnon and top-defense pair Cale Makar and Devon Toews against Bedard as much as possible.
Still, even with Colorado's strong defensive start and a likely tough night of on-ice matchups, I have Bedard projected for 0.92 points Thursday against the Blackhawks.
There's a sneaky edge in my numbers and the +110 bet365 price, too. I'd book this Under at -115, so we're gaining a positive expected value of 12%.
