We have a stacked NHL slate to sink our teeth into this Saturday, March 25th, with a whopping 15 match-ups on the schedule. If you’re planning to bet on the action, why not take advantage of my recommended NHL player props picks for today’s games?
Jack Hughes – Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (-155)
Senators vs. Devils Predictions
Only three players have registered more shots on goal than Jack Hughes this season. The New Jersey Devils center has racked up 304 shots on goal across 68 appearances, meaning he averages 4.47 SOG per game in 2022-23.
Earlier this week, Hughes notched a whopping 10 shots on goal against the Minnesota Wild before adding four SOG to his tally against the Buffalo Sabres last time out. Accordingly, I recommend backing him to record over 3.5 shots on goal against the Ottawa Senators.
Joe Pavelski – Over 0.5 Points (-180)
Not only have the Dallas Stars won five of their last eight games, but they have also won eight of their previous 12. As a result, the Texans find themselves at the summit of the Central Division, while the Vancouver Canucks sit third from bottom in the Pacific Division.
With that in mind, I’m confident that Joe Pavelski will chalk up over 0.5 points when the Stars host the Canucks on Saturday. Pavelski has grabbed six points across his previous three outings, so he shouldn’t struggle to enhance his tally against Vancouver.
Martin Necas – Over 0.5 Assists (+105)
Maple Leafs vs. Hurricanes Predictions
Earlier this month, Martin Necas notched three assists in a single game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Carolina Hurricanes winger has picked up four assists since then, helping his team cement first place in the Metropolitan Division.
The Hurricanes face a tricky test on Saturday, as they host the Toronto Maple Leafs, who occupy second place in the Atlantic Division. Despite the fact that Toronto has the potential to dominate at PNC Arena, odds of +105 for Necas to record over 0.5 assists are too tasty to ignore.
Connor McDavid – Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (-165)
Golden Knights vs. Oilers Predictions
Connor McDavid dropped another masterclass last time out, bagging two goals and seven SOG against the Arizona Coyotes. Consequently, the Edmonton Oilers superstar sits atop the goals leaderboard and second on the SOG leaderboard.
The Oilers head into Saturday’s clash with the Vegas Golden Knights on a five-game winning streak. When you look at the bigger picture, they have won nine of their previous 11 outings. Backing McDavid to notch over 3.5 shots on goal against Vegas makes a lot of sense.
Jordan Kyrou – Over 0.5 Points (-200)
The St. Louis Blues have upped their game of late, winning five of their last eight encounters. On Saturday, the Blues face the Anaheim Ducks, who find themselves second from bottom in the Pacific Division following three straight losses.
St. Louis’ Jordan Kyrou has racked up 10 points across his previous nine appearances, notching three against the Columbus Blue Jackets before bagging two against the Golden Knights. That’s why I’m backing him to register over 0.5 points against struggling Anaheim.
