Best NHL Props Today – Top Player Picks & Analysis

Every day during the regular season and playoffs, we run through our favorite NHL player props of the night. Picks and analysis are typically posted by 2 PM ET daily.

Friday, December 19th

There are five games on the board for Friday night in the NHL. Let’s see if we can pick out some winners to start off the weekend right!

Highest team totals at time of writing (approximate):

COL vs. WPG (3.7)
DAL at ANA (3.4)
ANA vs. DAL (3.2)
NYI vs. VAN (3.1)
UTA vs. NJ (3.0)

Most popular players on the Underdog app:

The Avalanche have the slate’s highest implied team total. They are a ridiculous 24-2-7 so far this season, with Nathan MacKinnon pacing the team with 28 goals and 30 assists in 33 games. Dude’s on another unreal pace heading into tonight’s game against a Winnipeg team that’s been struggling.

Elsewhere, the Stars/Ducks game should have some fireworks. There will be a lot of offensive firepower on the ice, namely Jason Robertson, Mikko Rantanen, Wyatt Johnston, Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier. It looks like a strong game to target for fantasy.

Adjusted Goals Created leaders so far this season, filtered for players on this slate (Hockey Reference):

  • Nathan MacKinnon (58.9)
  • Martin Necas (40.1)
  • Jason Robertson (39.0)
  • Leo Carlsson (38.7)
  • Wyatt Johnston (38.5)
  • Mikko Rantanen (38.5)
  • Mark Scheifele (38.5)
  • Kyle Connor (38.2)
  • Brad Marchand (38.2)
  • Cutter Gauthier (35.7)

NHL Player Props: A Complete Guide

The National Hockey League (NHL) is one of the four major professional sports in the US, but it isn’t as popular as the NFL or NBA. This is also true when it comes to sports betting, but the league has been making up some ground in recent years.

Prop betting is one of the best ways to bet on the NHL, as this is something every potential bettor can do. With prop betting, there is no need to focus on the outcome of a certain NHL matchup, instead, it looks at events that take place during the game.

This guide to NHL prop bets will point out the top options and also provide some NHL prop betting tips to become successful with this wagering style. For more on prop betting across all sports, take a look at the Props.com complete guide to prop betting.

Why NHL Prop Bets?

A prop bet is a term that is used often in the US sports betting industry and it stands for a propositional bet. This is a very unique form of betting, and it is one of the newer sports betting types offered by US gambling operators.

The reason for making a prop bet is to provide some additional entertainment and excitement when betting on sports. Instead of simply picking the winning team in a matchup, NHL prop betting provides many other betting opportunities.

The list of available NHL prop bets will continue to grow as time goes on, but there will always be some options that remain the most popular. These NHL prop betting options are similar to what you will find in other sports even though this league overall is not as popular.

When you are looking to make a prop bet on the NHL it is important to look over all of the available options to find the most valuable prop bet that you can find.

NHL Player Props

The most popular NHL props are known as player props. This is a wager that is placed on an individual player in an NHL game, but it can be on someone from either team.

When you are looking to bet on NHL player props, you will be looking at a specific statistical category to make the wager. This is similar to looking at fantasy points, and some bettors prefer to focus on just one player as opposed to an entire team or NHL game.

Here are some examples of NHL player props:

  • Will Patrick Kane score a goal in the upcoming game?
  • Over/Under 1.5 total points for Sidney Crosby.
  • Which player will record the first penalty in the game?

First NHL Goal Scorer Bet

Another popular NHL prop bet is the first goalscorer in a game. This can be a very exciting wager to make, and it can provide some good value as well.

When you are looking at the first goalscorer in an NHL game, you will need to look at both teams and find the player that you think has the best chance to score first. This can be based on many factors, but it is important to do your research before making this type of bet.

Team Prop Bets

Team props are similar to an NHL player prop bet, but the focus is now on an entire team’s performance. Team props are relatively new, and you likely won’t see as many options as you would for NHL player prop betting.

Sportsbooks sometimes like to put each team against one another when making an NHL team prop bet, which can add some additional excitement. Here are some examples of this type of bet that you might see:

  • Which team will record more penalty minutes?
  • Will the Washington Capitals record over/under 3.5 goals?
  • Over/Under shots on goal for the Carolina Hurricanes: 37.5

Season NHL Props

If you are looking to make a season prop bet on the NHL then you are someone that has no interest in focusing on just one single game. An NHL season prop bet is very similar to an NHL futures bet, and that is one of the most popular ways to bet on the league.

Future bets tend to focus on individual or team awards when it comes to the NHL, but an NHL season prop bet takes things a bit further. This is when you will be able to make a unique wager on a certain award and how it will be one.

Here are a few potential examples:

  • Will a team from the Eastern or Western Conference win the President’s Trophy?
  • Will the league MVP be over/under 26.5 years of age?
  • Will an American-born player win the league MVP?

All-Star Game Prop Betting

The NHL All-Star Game is not as popular as some of the other major professional sports, but it is still a celebration of the best hockey players in the world. This is a time that sportsbooks love to feature the NHL in a number of wagers, especially when it comes to prop betting.

Skills Competition

Before the NHL All-Star Game takes place, there are a number of different skills competitions that take place. The NHL has continued to change up the different skill competitions that are available, but sportsbooks are always offering prop betting options for whatever is available.

There are some unique events offered by the NHL, and these will all come with some unique prop betting options.

NHL All-Star Game

The actual NHL All-Star Game is one of the biggest events of the season for the league, and you can guarantee that sportsbooks are paying attention as well. You won’t find any other NHL event that has more prop betting options than the NHL All-Star Game.

Here are a few examples of some of the prop betting options you might see for this event:

  • Will a goaltender win the All-Star Game MVP?
  • Over/Under total goals scored in the All-Star Game
  • Will there be a penalty assessed in the NHL All-Star Game?

Choose The Right Kind

Nearly all of the NHL prop betting options below talk about skill wagers, but that isn’t the only available kind. Just like with any sport, you can also find fun NHL prop betting options throughout the season.

It is important that you know which type of prop bet you are looking to wager on, and you should become an “expert” at whatever type you choose. Feel free to bounce around between both options, but becoming great at one type will give you more success.

Fun Prop Betting

Most people think of “fun” prop betting options when looking for this type of wager, but that is no longer the only option. The Super Bowl used to have a wide range of fun prop betting options each year, and that bled into the NHL as well.

If you are going to make a fun NHL prop bet then you have to be prepared to have the outcome influenced by a little bit of luck. These fun NHL prop bets typically won’t have anything to do with the action on the ice, but will instead focus on other happenings.

Skill Prop Betting

A skill prop bet is similar to what takes place in all of the other sports bets that are made at the sportsbook. While there could still be some luck involved in a skill prop bet, most of the time this is won by doing some research.

A skill prop bet is won by making a wise bet rather than just guessing and hoping for some luck. The top NHL prop betting options that are discussed above would all fall under this category.

NHL Props & Betting Tips

Now that you have a better understanding of how NHL props betting works it is time to look at some NHL prop betting tips. You are free to come up with your own NHL prop betting strategies, but the information below should help you be more successful.

Check Goaltenders

The first thing you want to look at when studying an NHL game is the goaltending matchup that is set to take place. There are several factors that can dictate the outcome of NHL games, but goaltenders play a large role.

This doesn’t mean that you have to make an NHL prop bet on goaltenders, but they will always factor into whatever you decide to bet on. You won’t want to wager on a player to score a goal if they are facing a hot goaltender.

Small Unit Betting

Most sports betting experts will always recommend using the same betting unit when making a wager, but that doesn’t apply when it comes to prop betting. You don’t typically want to use a large unit when making an NHL prop bet because there are so many variables that could affect the outcome.

You might also find a number of NHL prop bets that you want to wager on for a specific game, and you won’t want to use a large unit for all of those bets.

Check The Injury Report

Hockey is a contact sport, but it is also a sport that is played by some of the toughest men on the planet. NHL players are known for playing through injuries, and teams don’t usually disclose too much information on the injury report.

This can make researching injuries pretty difficult, but you still need to find out as much information as possible. Even if a player isn’t listed on the injury report there is still a chance that they could be dealing with some sort of injury.

Find The Best NHL Betting Odds

It is also important to shop around for the best odds when you are placing NHL prop bets. This is because the lines and odds can vary greatly from one sportsbook to another. This is true for betting on NHL games as well as wagering on NHL player props.

For example, when looking across the prop betting market, you may find different odds for Sidney Crosby to score a goal. That’s why it pays to have multiple sportsbooks, so you can lock in the best odds to enhance your payout.

May 29, 2025; Dallas, Texas, USA; Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (97) reacts after scoring a goal against the Dallas Stars during the second period in game five of the Western Conference Final of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at American Airlines Center.

The 2025 Stanley Cup Finals pits the league’s two most complete teams—and two of the game’s most dominant duos—against each other in a high-stakes rematch.

Florida’s battle-tested core seeks its second straight title, while Edmonton’s Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are hunting their first Cup.

With elite talent on both sides, volatile goaltending, and contrasting playing styles, this series opens up key prop betting angles across player scoring, shots on goal, goalie saves, and points markets.

2025 Stanley Cup Finals Props – Oilers vs. Panthers Best Bets

Below you’ll find a breakdown of each team from a DFS and betting perspective heading into the Stanley Cup.

Florida Panthers

Florida is deeper and more balanced. Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk drive two-way excellence and high-impact playoff scoring. The Panthers’ forecheck generates turnovers and odd-man rushes, which leads to broad shot distribution across three lines. Tkachuk elevates his game in physical series, and Barkov is as complete as they come.

Sergei Bobrovsky has been dominant and erratic—often in the same series. He was nearly unbeatable early in the 2024 Final before imploding for three games. He rebounded in Game 7 and looks focused, but consistency remains a question. The Panthers give up fewer high-danger chances than Edmonton but still allow volume when chasing the game.

Panthers Prop Betting Notes

  • Barkov Shots on Goal and Points Overs are reliable—he gets offensive minutes while matching McDavid defensively.
  • Tkachuk Goal or Point props shine in chippy, high-event games. Look for him to score in bounce-back games or home contests.
  • Bobrovsky Save Totals Over can be valuable early in the series when facing Edmonton’s aggressive zone entries.
  • Depth player SOG props (Carter Verhaeghe, Sam Reinhart) often have plus-money odds and hit at surprising rates.

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton’s success depends almost entirely on its superstars. McDavid leads the playoffs with 26 points, while Draisaitl, the Rocket Richard winner, sits right behind with 25. Edmonton’s power play remains lethal, and their top-heavy scoring means most point production runs through the top line and power-play unit. The depth scoring has improved, but the top six carry the bulk of the prop value.

Stuart Skinner is the wild card. He was shaky early in the playoffs but showed more stability in the Western Conference Final. Still, bettors should expect fluctuation—he’s either locked in or completely beatable. Edmonton gives up plenty of shots, making opposing player shots on goal (SOG) and save overs for Skinner solid angles.

Oilers Prop Betting Notes

  • McDavid Points Overs are nearly must-play every game.
  • Draisaitl Goal props and Anytime Scorer have real value with his volume shooting and PP usage.
  • Skinner Save Totals Over can hit if Florida controls pace and piles on rubber.
  • Avoid secondary Oilers unless odds are long—nearly all production funnels through the top 3-4 players.

Best NHL Props Today – Hockey Picks & Analysis (Updated Daily)

General Stanley Cup Final Prop Strategy

With superstar-driven offenses and volatile goaltending on both sides, this series creates a perfect storm for player prop value. The key is identifying where usage, minutes, and game script collide.

Bet on Elite Usage Stars

Barkov, Tkachuk, McDavid and Draisaitl will play 22–25 minutes per game in close contests. These players touch the puck constantly on the PP and generate the most prop volume. Focus on Points, SOG, and Anytime Scorer markets for all four.

Fade Inconsistent Goalies in Live Markets

Bobrovsky and Skinner both have boom/bust profiles. If one gives up early goals, you can often grab live Overs on opposing scorers or team totals at adjusted odds before books react.

Bet SOG Overs on Florida, Save Overs on Skinner

Florida plays a volume game. Even when they’re not dominating, they get 30+ shots per game. Skinner save props (often 27.5–29.5) are a good starting point for volume-based overs.

Tail Draisaitl for Anytime Goals

He’s a better goal scorer than McDavid and usually has slightly better payout odds. When Edmonton needs offense in tight games, Draisaitl’s shot volume spikes, especially on the PP.

Look for Series Prop Value in 6+ Game Markets

These teams are evenly matched, and both have experience going deep. Series to go 6+ games, Series tied 2-2 after Game 4, and Player with Most Points: McDavid are sharp plays.

Additional Market Tips

  • Game Script Props: In Oilers wins, lean McDavid/Draisaitl point overs + Skinner save unders. In Panthers wins, lean Barkov/Tkachuk points + Skinner save overs.
  • Double Point Nights: Barkov 2+ point and McDavid multi-point markets are available at plus money and hit more than most books price.
  • Power Play Props: Bet on Tkachuk or Draisaitl to score on the PP—both are net-front options with high conversion rates.

What Is DFS Pick’Em?

As you may know, daily fantasy sports (DFS) picks have moved beyond simple tournaments and cash games.

Many DFS apps now offer more unique contests similar to player props in sports betting. They’re excellent alternatives if you don’t have legal sports betting sites in your state.

Even if you do have access to legal online sportsbooks, you might like DFS pick’em for something new. DFS sites have borrowed elements from the sports betting world to create engaging pick’em contests.

Pick’em requires you to choose “higher” or “lower” on player stats, such as points, rebounds, and three-pointers. For example, you may pick LeBron James to finish with more than 24.5 points on a certain site.

Very similar to prop bets available at legal online sportsbooks, it’s a perfect substitute for sports betting if you don’t have regulated sportsbooks in your state and may even be the preferable option.

Seattle Kraken player

Things are hitting a fever pitch in the NHL. The trade deadline is on Friday, and somehow the playoff races are getting more crowded with each passing night.

Things should only get more chaotic on Thursday, as 18 teams are in action the night before the deadline.

NHL Best Bets: Thursday, March 6th

Let’s get to some of the best value plays on Thursday’s betting board.

Editor’s Note: Looking for more hockey content? Be sure to check out our NHL player props article, which is updated daily.

Oliver Bjorkstrand HIGHER Than 0.5 Goals Scored

The Tampa Bay Lightning made a big splash on Wednesday by acquiring Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand from the Seattle Kraken for two first-round picks. 

While Gourde is a known quantity in Tampa, Bjorkstrand will get the opportunity to play with elite linemates for really the first time in his career. 

The Danish scoring winger has been steady as she goes for some subpar teams in Columbus and Seattle, but now will share the ice with the likes of Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Brandon Hagel, Jake Guentzel, and Victor Hedman. 

It may seem risky to back a player making his debut with a new team, but the Lightning are so talented up front that they’ll make Bjorkstrand’s job quite simple and since he’s a terrific finisher, I like his chances (and more importantly, the price) of finding the back of the net right out of the gates with the Bolts. 

Dylan Guenther HIGHER Than 0.5 Goals Scored

Detroit and Utah are desperate for points on Thursday night.

After roaring through the past two months, the Red Wings have lost three on the spin and five of their last seven. There were issues for Detroit showing under the cracks, even during their winning streak, but now the Wings aren’t getting elite goaltending and that’s causing a team-wide dip.

That should be good news for Dylan Guenther and Utah HC.

Utah is 6-3 in its last nine contests and now finds itself just four points out of the playoffs. 

Guenther has played a big role in Utah’s ascendancy with six goals and a whopping 36 shots on goal in his last 10 games.

We’ll go back to Guenther tonight and hope he continues to pour it on against a team that is having issues on its own end.

Connor McDavid to Score 2+ Goals

The Edmonton Oilers have come unglued since the 4 Nations Face-Off and part of the problem has been the lack of production from Connor McDavid. That may sound unfair to say about a player who has 10 points in his last 10 games, but it’s been a chore for No. 97 of late, especially at 5-on-5.

What we do know is that McDavid will slam out of this “slump” eventually, and when he does it will likely start a spell where he starts putting up points at a Hart Trophy pace. 

We’ll bet on that to happen tonight against a Canadiens team that is playing better, but still has plenty of defensive flaws and should have issues slowing down McDavid and Co.

With just three days to go before Friday’s trade deadline, the results on Tuesday night could go a long way to deciding how some teams approach their business.

NHL Best Bets: Tuesday, March 4th

Let’s get to some of the best value plays on Tuesday’s betting board.

Editor’s Note: Looking for more hockey content? Be sure to check out our NHL player props article, which is updated daily.

Jake Guentzel HIGHER Than 0.5 Goals

The Tampa Bay Lightning finally lost on Monday night, but they’re right back at it against the surging Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. 

And while Guentzel has been terrific in his first season with the Bolts, his production has tapered a bit over the last little while. The American has just two goals in his last 10.

That provides us with a decent buying opportunity as it’s not been for a lack of trying that Guentzel isn’t finding the back of the net.

Guentzel hasn’t scored since the league returned from the 4 Nations, but Guentzel’s shot numbers are not all that concerning. He’s got eight shots on goal over his last five games and 26 over his last 10. You’d like a little bit of an uptick, but it’s understandable given his role for Team USA. 

He still has one of the best spots in the NHL next to Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov, so it’s just a matter of time before Guentzel pops with a big game.

Sidney Crosby HIGHER Than 0.5 Goals

Tuesday’s contest between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche could be a track meet and is not a bad game to circle for stacking and same-game parlays correlated with things getting off the rails.

I’ll keep things simple here, though, and back Sidney Crosby to find the back of the net.

As poor as Pittsburgh’s season has gone, Crosby remains the team’s driving force and has been terrific since Game 1. He’s not showing any signs of slowing down, either. Crosby has five goals, 13 points, and 30 shots on goal in his last 10 contests

You don’t want to walk down narrative street all that often when it comes to betting, but Crosby will be going up against his good mate Nathan Mackinnon in this contest and the Crosby-to-Colorado fantasists will be frothing at the mouth if Sid the Kid has a big game in Denver. 

Wild/Kraken 60-Minute Draw (+300)

The Minnesota Wild are in tough right now. Not only have they lost 10 of their last 18, but the Wild also have been ravaged by injuries this season. 

Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Jonas Brodin are all out for the foreseeable future and Minnesota doesn’t have much wiggle room to make trades and bring in reinforcements.

The Wild were always a team that focused on keeping games neat and tidy, but the injuries have forced Minnesota to lean into that defensive posture even more. The Wild’s best path to success is to edge out teams in low-event contests because they are not likely to outscore their opponents in back-and-forth tilts. Minnesota has scored 18 goals in its last nine contests.

Luckily, their opponent on Tuesday isn’t really a threat to overrun the Wild. The Seattle Kraken rank in the middle of the pack in goals per game, but that number is buoyed by a high shooting percentage. Seattle is second-to-last in expected goals created and fourth-worst in terms of creating high-danger scoring chances.

This game has every chance of being a snoozer, which puts value on backing it to go to overtime at a good price.

NHL Best Bets: Thursday, February 27th

With such a big slate, there’s a smorgasbord of markets for bettors to sink their teeth into on Thursday night: 

Editor’s Note: Looking for more hockey content? Be sure to check out our NHL player props article, which is updated daily.

Simon Holmstrom HIGHER Than 0.5 Goals

Simon Holmstrom has quietly been one of the most effective players for the New York Islanders this season. A rangy winger that can play up and down the lineup, Holmstrom has essentially improved every line he’s played on for Patrick Roy.

Roy made a change to his forward group on Tuesday, playing Holmstrom with Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri. That trio was the Isles’ best line against the Blueshirts and should continue to get good looks against a Bruins team that is missing its two best defensemen.

William Eklund HIGHER Than 0.5 Goals

San Jose is 1-7-2 in its last 10 and a huge underdog against the Montreal Canadiens – far from world-beaters themselves – but they look like a team to target across the market on Thursday night.

Montreal’s defensive numbers have been poor all season and whether they win or lose comes down to their goaltending and if they can outscore their flaws in their own zone.

San Jose has its own defensive warts, but they have the offensive firepower to give the Habs some issues.

There’s a number of players on San Jose you can work with in this spot, but I landed on William Eklund as my favorite play.

Eklund has the cushy gig of playing alongside Macklin Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli tonight, and he’s in decent form with eight points and 20 shots on goal in his last 10 contests.

Red Wings/Blue Jackets 1P Under 0.5 Goals (BetMGM)

This is a massive game. The Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets currently sit in the final two wild-card spots in the Eastern Conference, but they’re hold on those places is far from secure. 

There are currently five teams separated by just four points in the Eastern Conference, so any dip in form could be ruinous.

That should lead to these two teams approaching this contest like a playoff game, and doing everything they can to keep things tidy.

I expect this to be a cagey affair, which puts value on the first period to end nil-nil.

The 4 Nations Face-Off has surprised everyone. Here are our top hockey props and picks for USA/Canada with the trophy on the line.

The 4 Nations Face-Off has surprised everyone. The quality of play has been exceptional, the players are fully bought in, and the games are pulling massive ratings.

That last bit is important because Thursday’s final between Team USA and Canada will produce a massive handle for sportsbooks. This will be one of the most-bet hockey games since sports betting was legalized nearly seven years ago. 

Adding to the excitement is that the sportsbooks are having a tough time separating the two teams. The game opened as a pick’em and has stayed at that price across the market.

This is a coin flip.

4 Nations Face-Off Canada vs. Team USA Odds & Pick

It’s only been three games for each of these teams, but it is pretty clear what their path to victory looks like. 

For Canada, they’ll want an open game with the teams trading scoring chances. The Canadians are built on speed, skill, and creativity, so a see-saw battle favors them. 

Team USA will want things to be a lot tighter. The Yanks have committed to playing a structured, two-way game with sturdy defense and elite goaltending taking priority over offensive flair. The Americans were able to bottle things up against Canada, knowing that a low-event contest played into their strengths. 

Thursday’s final will likely have a different feel to it. There won’t be any of the fireworks we saw right at the opening face-off, and you’d imagine both teams will try to be on their best behavior given the stakes. Keeping this game at 5-on-5 is essential for Team USA.

It is hard to argue with the bookmakers that this game is a virtual coin flip and you can make valid arguments for either side at these prices, but the biggest red flag for me is the goaltending matchup.

Connor Hellebuyck has been steady as a rock all season for the Winnipeg Jets, and that form has transferred over to this tournament. Jordan Binnington, meanwhile, has allowed a questionable goal in each of Canada’s three games so far and will be under immense pressure in this contest.

With that in mind, I’ll be backing the Americans to get the job done by multiple goals on Thursday.

A play on the puckline at +230 (FanDuel) seems a tidy price, but I wouldn’t shy away from backing some alternate numbers like -2.5 or -3.5 given that we could see whoever is behind pull the goalie with plenty of time on the clock because this is a winner-take-all contest.

The Bet: USA -1.5 (+230, FanDuel)

4 Nations Face-Off Canada vs. Team USA Props

Jack Hughes anytime goalscorer (+300, FanDuel)

Hughes has caught some criticism for a lack of production, but the New Jersey Devil is getting pucks on net. Hughes’ 10 shots on goal are tied for third-most in the tournament behind the Tkachuk brothers. 

Hughes is flying under the radar a bit because he hasn’t had a huge impact, but that’s good news for value-hunters and provides us with a good buy-low opportunity.

Brandon Hagel anytime goalscorer (+600, DraftKings) 

Hagel became a cultural icon in Canada for his fight on Saturday night and his press conference this week, but he’s also been an effective player for the Canadians behind the big boys. Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Sidney Crosby will get all the attention, but Hagel provides the value.

The Tampa Bay Lightning star has eight shots on goal and is not afraid to get the dirty areas, which is an added bonus in what could be a very tight game.

First Goalscorer: Jaccob Slavin (+7000, FanDuel)

Let’s have a little bit of fun.

Offense is often hard to come by in these tight-checking, high-stakes games. It’s tough to find space with all the bodies clogging up the middle, meaning that it can take a greasy goal from an unexpected source to break the deadlock.

And while Slavin is known for his defensive prowess, he will log a ton of ice time and does have some offensive chops. It’s very unlikely this bet wins, but it’s a fun sweat at a massive price.

Four Nations Face-Off Props – Longshot Bets

MORE PROPS: NFL | NBA | NHL | PGA

As noted above, Canada is the favorite to win the tournament, but the bookies are having a tough time separating the Canadians and the Americans at the top of the board. 

DraftKings is treating the two North American sides as +160 co-favorites, while FanDuel has Canada slightly shorter at +145 and the Yanks at +155. 

FanDuel has Sweden as the third choice at +420, while Finland is sitting all the way out at +1000 after a rash of injuries bamboozled their blueline. 

This tournament is the first of its kind and is coming in the middle of the NHL season, so nobody really knows what to expect. It’s also a short format, with each team only guaranteed three games and the two finalists playing a fourth. 

All of this adds up to chaos, which is good news for punters who fancy themselves a longshot bet in these kinds of situations.

Here are a couple to consider:

Most goals in the tournament – Filip Forsberg, Sweden

You’ll notice that the top of the board in this market is dominated by Canadians and Americans.

That seems logical since those are the two favorites, but it is worth noting that those two rosters are absolutely loaded with starpower and that also means that they could end up spreading the wealth, which will keep everyone’s production somewhat in check.

So instead of playing one of the big dogs on Canada or Team USA at short prices, I’ll go down the board and play a prolific goalscorer from one of the underdogs.

Enter Filip Forsberg.

It’s been a trying season for the Nashville Predators, and Forsberg’s 32-goal pace is subpar for a player who lit the lamp 48 times last year, but a lot of that can be chalked up to a weird year for the Preds.

Forsberg should cut a revitalized figure playing meaningful hockey, and he will be a prominent player in Sweden’s top six and on their first power play unit.

Formats like this can often cause players to be more unselfish than usual because the rosters are filled with stars, but one thing we know about Forsberg is that he loves to fire the puck on net. The Swedish star ranks sixth in the NHL in shots on goal this season.

Team Finland top points scorer – Kaapo Kakko

Kaapo Kakko has looked like a completely different player since being traded from the New York Rangers to the Seattle Kraken.

Kakko has 17 points in 24 games and seems to finally be on the verge of breaking out. It’s been a long time coming for the former No. 2 overall pick.

Finland is the biggest longshot in this tournament, but there are still plenty of all-stars at the top of this roster.

Aleksander Barkov, Mikko Rantanen, Sebastian Aho, and Patrik Laine are all threats to put up crooked numbers, but I’d imagine those players will have to go up against the opposition’s top players in each game, which could limit their ceilings.

That should create some easier minutes for Kakko, who is set to play alongside a terrific facilitator in Roope Hintz.
