The 2022-23 NHL season continues to heat up and Friday, December 23rd is a big day for the league. Hockey teams all get the Christmas weekend off to enjoy time with their families and that means you have a full slate of games on Friday.
Betting on hockey provides some good opportunities, especially if you are looking to bet on player props. With that in mind, here are the best NHL player prop picks for Friday, December 23rd.
Jesper Bratt Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+105)
Jesper Bratt and the New Jersey Devils host the Boston Bruins on Friday night. Both teams are having a terrific year and this is a game that should feature plenty of goal-scoring.
Both teams are having a huge year offensively and that’s going to create a ton of scoring opportunities for both teams. Look for Jesper Bratt to be aggressive in this game and he will get at least three shots on goal in this one.
Kevin Hayes Over 0.5 Assists (+160)
The Philadelphia Flyers travel to Carolina to face a Hurricanes team that is red-hot. It has been another rough season for Philadelphia, but they have started to be better offensively in the last few games.
Kevin Hayes leads the Flyers with 21 assists on the year and he is a player that is going to have the puck on his stick a lot. Take the over 0.5 assists in this game, as you will see Hayes be aggressive in trying to lead his team.
Alex Ovechkin Under 3.5 Shots on Goal (+125)
Veteran Alex Ovechkin continues to play terrific hockey and he is a player that you can usually count on to score a point. Ovechkin plays a bit differently now than he did when he first broke into the league and he’s not a high-volume shooter.
The Capitals are hosting a very good Winnipeg Jets team and they won’t let Ovechkin get many good looks. Take the under 3.5 shots on goal, as Ovechkin just won’t find a ton of room to operate.
Max Domi Under 0.5 Points (-115)
Blue Jackets vs. Blackhawks Picks
Max Domi and the Chicago Blackhawks are in full tank mode at this point in the year. They have been playing some terrible hockey. Chicago was expected to struggle this season, but no one could have predicted just how bad they would be.
The Blackhawks are scoring just 2.26 goals per game this season and you can use that to your advantage when betting on player props. Bet on Domi to be kept out of the scoring column on Friday, as it’s another long day for Chicago.
Connor McDavid Over 0.5 Goals (-125)
If it feels like Connor McDavid is a player that scores a goal every single night, then you aren’t alone. McDavid comes into the action on Friday with 65 points on the year and he has put the puck in the back of the net 29 times.
It’s not easy to predict that an NHL player is going to score a goal, but it’s hard to look away from McDavid based on what he has done. Bet on him at -125 to score a goal to lead his team to a win over the Vancouver Canucks.
