Happy Friday! No better way to kick off the weekend than with a little bit of hockey and some NHL betting. It’s a smaller slate across the NHL tonight, but we still have five games to pick and choose our spots from. Let’s get to the Best NHL Prop Bets Today.

While the slate is small, we do have some entertaining matchups this evening. We get a pair of potential playoff showdowns, a rivalry game out west, a revenge game north of the border, oh and the best player in the world Connor McDavid is in action.

Best NHL Prop Bets Today

Alex DeBrincat Anytime Goal (+134) & 1st Goal (+1000)

I figured if I’m going to bet DeBrincat to score, why not sprinkle a bit on the first goal-scorer prop as well? DeBrincat was of course traded to Ottawa from the Blackhawks this summer. With the Hawks coming into town, DeBrincat will likely relish the chance at a little revenge.

DeBrincat got off to a slower start than he’d have liked, but is heating up with 3 goals in his last 5 games. The Blackhawks have a bottom-10 PK in the NHL at 76.1%. That PK gets even worse on the road at just 72%.

DeBrincat thrives on the Power Play with one of the better shots in the game today. 7 of his 18 goals this year have come on the man advantage. Let’s roll the dice with The Cat.

Artemi Panarin Anytime Goal (+205)

The Rangers visit the Oilers tonight in what I think is the most exciting matchup of the night. The Rangers are 6-0-1 in their last 7 games and are even more dangerous after the addition of Vlad Tarasenko. Panarin is also red-hot with a whopping 6 goals in his last 2 games and 15 points in this 7-game stretch.

At +205, Panarin only has the 7th best odds to score a goal tonight. He’s much too talented of a player and playing much too well right now to pass that up.

The Oilers also aren’t the most defensively sound team allowing 3.22 Goals per Game. Edmonton has also allowed 7 more goals at home this season despite only having played one more game on home ice. I love banking on the Breadman tonight at over 2/1 odds to score.
