Bettors have an enticing slate of player prop options in the NHL, particularly with the struggling Boston Bruins and New York Islanders. Elias Lindholm and Anthony Duclair are expected to find success on the power play, while underwhelming Evgeni Malkin faces challenges.
The Bruins’ top trio, including Lindholm, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak, is anticipated to rebound after a poor showing against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Islanders’ weak penalty kill, ranking last in the league, presents an opportunity for Lindholm, who has recorded points in six of his last ten games.
Duclair, returning from injury, plays with Horvat and Palmieri, enhancing his scoring chances against Boston’s struggling defense. Meanwhile, Malkin's shot count has been inconsistent, making the under on his shot prop a tempting choice against the stingy Carolina Hurricanes.
