It's finally Saturday, and we know what that means – NHL action all throughout the day. We have two afternoon games to get us prepared for 10 more in the evening, so there is set to be non-stop excitement on the ice. It's a big slate to go through, but we're here to help with that. In addition to any money line and over/under plays you have, we've provided our experts' best NHL prop be t picks. Our first one is in the first game of the day, so let's not waste any time breaking it down.
Along with our best NHL player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Dylan Larkin over 0.5 goals (+155)
The first puck drop of Saturday's slate will be in the Motor City with the Detroit Red Wings hosting the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Wings are off to their best start in quite some time, and that is largely in part due to their increased offensive production after adding Alex DeBrincat this past offseason. We'd also consider adding him to score, as it came down to him and Larkin. Ultimately, we're going to stick with the guy who is itching to find the back of the net.'
It's DeBrincat that has come in and led the team in goals thus far, but Larkin does not want to be overshadowed. He's already sent out 12 helpers, but he's been firing away to add more goals to his stat sheet. In Detroit's last 3 games, he's had 5 shots on goal twice and 6 in the other. In that 6-shot game, he recorded 2 points, one of which was a goal. What makes that much more impressive is that it came against the Boston Bruins, the top goaltending team in the NHL. Now facing the poor goaltending team in the Jackets, the first of our NHL prop bet picks is on Dylan Larkin to score a goal.'
