As we get set for a huge hockey weekend ahead, tonight provides a light 3-game slate in the NHL. However, we get to see the likes of Connor Bedard, the most hyped rookie since Connor McDavid, who is also on the ice the close out the night. While our NHL prop bet picks for today don't focus on the Connors, we're targeting skaters in the 2 earlier games, so let's get into our best bets.< /p>
Along with our best NHL player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Tage Thompson over 0.5 goals (+160)
Over 0.5 goals (+160) available at time of publishing. Playable to +140.
The first matchup of the night may not exactly be an Eastern Conference Finals preview, but it's one that a particular skater should have licking his chops. The Buffalo Sabres are in Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets, and Tage Thompson should remember this matchup well. Last season, he had a historical night scoring 5 goals, 4 of which came in the 1st period!'
