Today’s Best PrizePicks NHL Player Predictions
One of the byproducts of simply being on the ice with Connor McDavid is that you’ll get a few chances to score and plenty of opportunities to pick up assists. That has been the recipe for Edmonton’s top defender, Evan Bouchard. The 24-year-old is sixth in the league in scoring among defensemen, amassing 47 points on 12 goals and 35 helpers. Bouchard’s coming off an outing where he added a goal and two assists, moving him up to five points in his last five games (1G, 4A). The Oilers go for their second straight victory tonight against a Blues team that’s a pedestrian 14th defensively (2.85 GAA).

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport, such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands. Examples of hockey player prop bets include over/under bets on shots on goal, points, goals, assists, and blocked shots.
