Hockey fans are in for a heck of a day on Saturday. There will be nonstop NHL action from 11 AM ET due to the Global Series games in Sweden all the way through midnight. There is so much to watch, root for, and bet on. At any time on Saturday, you will be able to watch hockey so hopefully you can get the obligations out of the way early. This will be a day of hockey you will not want to miss.
You can also find out our NHL predictions for today’s slate, but for now, let’s dive into my best NHL prop bets.
Connor McDavid over 0.5 goals (+100)
All of a sudden, the Oilers have won 3 straight games at a time they desperately needed points. They have scored 4 goals in each of those 3 wins and have a good chance to repeat those performances on Saturday. The Lightning currently allow the 5th most goals per game in the NHL. They have 3 wins in their last 9 games and allowed at least 4 goals in each of those losses.
The Oilers are not exactly elite in goal prevention either so this matchup could be a high score. If that is the case, getting Connor McDavid at +100 to contribute a goal is great value. Even if the final ends up low, any McDavid prop for plus money always has appeal. A slow start cannot fully be ignored. But he is the best player on the planet and has proven as much year after year. Look for McDavid to play with urgency to continue this win streak and as a result, produce in this one.
