The 2022-23 NHL season is starting to heat up. With more games on the schedule, this also leads to more betting opportunities.
As with any time that you are looking to make NHL player prop picks, you are going to want to look at some of the best players on the ice. Here are the five best NHL player prop picks to make for games taking place on Saturday, October 29th.
Patrick Kane Over 0.5 Goals (+186)
Blackhawks vs. Sabres Predictions
The Chicago Blackhawks have been a big surprise so far this season and they have been putting up big numbers of offense. Surprisingly Patrick Kane has not been having a ton of success on offense yet, but that is going to come eventually.
Getting the over on Kane to score a goal at +186 is an absolute steal and those are odds that you can’t pass up. Kane is going to find the back of the net on Saturday night.
Jordan Kyrou Under 3.5 Shots on Goal (-140)
Canadiens vs. Blues Predictions
Jordan Kyrou has emerged as a great offensive player for the St. Louis Blues and this team is always on the attack. It’s not often that Kyrou is going to record just three shots on goal or less, but there are so many weapons on offense for St. Louis.
Don’t be surprised to see some of the other players take a ton of shots on Saturday for St. Louis and it will keep the shots on goal number low for St. Louis.
Alex Ovechkin Under 3.5 Shots on Goal (+125)
Capitals vs. Predators Predictions
Alex Ovechkin continues to be one of the best players in the NHL, but he is no longer a player that always dominates the puck. The veteran still isn’t afraid to take shots when given a chance, but he relies on his teammates a ton.
Take the under 3.5 shots on goal for Ovechkin in this match-up on Saturday night, as he will be relatively quiet against the Nashville Predators.
Leon Draisaitl Over 0.5 Goals (+150)
Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers just continue to put up huge offensive numbers to begin the year. Edmonton just scored six goals in Chicago on Thursday night and Draisaitl was once again a huge part of that as he dished out a number of assists.
Draisaitl is also a player that can find the back of the net and there is great value in getting him to score a goal on Saturday. Take this bet at +150 and look for the offensive star to score a goal.
Evgeni Malkin Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+125)
Penguins vs. Kraken Predictions
The Pittsburgh Penguins are in Seattle on Saturday night and it has been a rough week for the visitors. Pittsburgh has lost three straight games and it’s time for the veterans on that roster to step up and provide some offense.
Evgeni Malkin is one of those veterans that knows how to score and he needs to be involved in a big way in this match-up. Look for Pittsburgh to be aggressive and Malkin will record at least four shots.
