NHL Best Bets & Player Props (12/5/22): Connor McDavid, Cole Caufield & More!

NHL Best Bets & Player Props (12/5/22): Connor McDavid, Cole Caufield & More. The last time out was rough if you tailed, so I hope to deliver some winners this time around. There are six games tonight, and not one team is on a back-to-back. Only two teams playing tonight played four times last week, Rangers and Oilers.

NHL Player Props are bets on the players. The player's possession metrics, role and time on ice are taken into account. An easier matchup is not a must, but the actual numbers and odds are.

Cole Caufield is one of the best rate-shooters in the NHL. He is the primary trigger on Vancouver's power play. Caulfield has over 3.5 shots on goal at Vancouver (10:30 pm EST).

Connor McDavid is the world's best player. He has the best matchups and is playing well at home. Washington is 25th in Corsi-allowed per 60 minutes and without several key players.

Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals are playing at Edmonton (8:30 pm EST) tonight. The game should be fast and intense.

Andrew Cogliano is a +550 wager for Colorado Avalanche at Philadelphia Flyers.

Cole Caufield is a +175 shot for Montreal Canadiens against Vancouver Canucks.

Montreal and Vancouver are playing each other tonight at 10:30 pm EST. Montreal is the over favorite. Both teams are bottom 10 in expected goals against. Vancouver is one of the highest-scoring teams in the league and one that is poor at keeping the puck out of their own net.

Calgary is playing Arizona at 9 pm EST. Calgary is sixth in the NHL and Arizona is last in league. Calgary should win the game. The team with the worst goals for percentage is Arizona. Arizona has the lowest goals against percentage in NHL.
