Best NHL Props Oct 15: Player Props for the NHL Tonight
Connor McDavid to record 2+ points, Kyle Connor to score and Alex DeBrincat to put 4+ shots on goal are our three best NHL player props for Thursday night.
There are 11 games on Thursday, and we've taken one prop from each of three of them. All three players are in form, and each one has a matchup that suits his game.
Connor McDavid Points Prop vs Utah Mammoth
McDavid has 17 points through six games and has recorded 2+ points in five of them. He had a goal and three assists in his 800th NHL game on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Utah have given him trouble before. He leads all players in career goals and points against the franchise. The Oilers are 5-0-1 and scoring 4.83 goals per game.
The Mammoth are killing just 74.1% of penalties. Karel Vejmelka let in 4 goals on 26 shots against Toronto on Tuesday. We're backing McDavid to go multi-point at home.
Pick: Connor McDavid 2+ points
Kyle Connor Anytime Goal Prop vs Chicago Blackhawks
Connor has 7 goals in Winnipeg's first six games and has scored in five of them, including each of the last three.
He's averaging 5 shots on goal per game, and he plays more than 20 minutes a night. He's shot the puck more than anyone else on the Jets.
Chicago are 2-5-0 and giving up 4.14 goals and 30 shots per game. Spencer Knight let in 3 goals on 27 shots in his last start. We like Connor to keep his goal streak going.
Pick: Kyle Connor anytime goal
Alex DeBrincat Shots on Goal Prop vs Philadelphia Flyers
DeBrincat has 24 shots on goal through six games, and 13 of them came in his last two games. He had 7 shots in Montreal and 6 against New Jersey, when he scored twice on Tuesday.
He's playing more than 20 minutes a night, with 4:20 on the power play over his last five games, so he gets plenty of chances.
Philadelphia are still looking for their first win at 0-5-3. They give up 34.6 shots per game, the most in the NHL. We're backing DeBrincat to reach four shots at home.
Pick: Alex DeBrincat 4+ shots on goal
Verdict
Connor McDavid 2+ points, Kyle Connor anytime goal and Alex DeBrincat 4+ shots on goal are our three best NHL player props for Thursday night.
