There are just 2 NHL games tonight, but we’re going to take a deeper dive into one of the matchups and choose a player prop we think will provide good value and has a great chance of hitting. Both games are starting at 7:00 pm ET. These are the first games since the all-star break, and there could be some value on the board tonight.
Along with our player props, be sure to check out our full game previews for tonight’s matchups.
Mitch Marner has found himself in some elite company. Entering this game, he’s on a 7-game goal streak and will be looking to become the first player this season to record a streak of 8 games. He’s on an incredible run, something that only 5 other Leafs have ever done, and at +250 bettors are getting incredible value. Marner is coming off a week of rest and should be primed for a good game. He had a 4-point, 2-goal night in his most recent game and he’s playing his best hockey of the season.
The oddsmakers are seriously undervaluing this play tonight. With 8 goals in his last 7 games, Marner has been one of the hottest goalscorers in the league and has shown no signs of slowing down. Because Hurricanes goaltender Frederick Andersen played in the all-star event this weekend, backup goaltender Antti Raanta is expected to get the start, which could be good news for bettors. Raanta has played only 1 game in the last month, and the lack of gameplay could negatively affect his game. The Leafs have scored 4 goals or more in their last 4 games. Take Marner to record a goal tonight.
