Check out three NHL props worth the wager for 3/6.
NHL Odds, Predictions: Shot on Goal Best Bets and Parlay for Thursday
First up in the early window is Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski, facing the Florida Panthers.
Werenski’s one of the best offensive blue-liners in the game. He’s two points behind Cale Makar for the most points by a D man this season.
Werenski’s shot on goal line tonight is 2.5, and our projections are green-lighting a pick on the over. Action PRO models set Werenski for north of 3.0 shots on net tonight, which produces about a 5% edge.
Werenski leads the entire league in time on ice (26:56), which is more than a full minute more than the next (Makar).
PRO Pick: Zach Werenski Over 2.5 Shots
Secondly, Jake Guentzel of the Lightning is another great bet when Tampa Bay takes on Buffalo.
Our projections have been all over Guentzel in the past and like the spot tonight. Guentzel’s shot on goal line is 2.5, with the over plus money. We recommend taking the over, predicting the veteran winger for 2.6.
PRO Pick: Jake Guentzel Over 2.5 Shots
Finally, the top edge of the day is Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon over 3.5 shots vs. San Jose in the night cap.
The Avs draw a Sharks defense allowing the most shots per game this season. MacKinnon is one of four skaters this season averaging more than 4 shots on goal per contest.
We predict MacKinnon will stay in form at home tonight, tabbing the star for 4.6 shots on the net.
PRO Pick: Nathan MacKinnon Over 3.5 Shots
