We're officially into Christmas weekend, and that means a jam-packed sports schedule. While the focus shifts to the NFL and NBA for many fans come Sunday and Monday, today is all about the 14-game NHL slate. That means games all throughout the day, but it also means that it's quite a bit of games to break down. However, our experts have done that for you and found their best spots for NHL prop bet picks.

It isn't one of the early afternoon games, but the Maple Leafs vs. Blue Jackets matchup is our first target. It's a great one at that, given that Columbus once again is a poor goaltending team, and Toronto's star-studded lineup yet again has an explosive offense. The Jackets are the second-worst team in terms of goals allowed per game, while the Leafs are the third-highest scoring team in the NHL. The only struggle when it comes to Toronto is that the options are virtually endless.'
