Prop Bets of the Night
We close out NHL predictions with some prop bets of the night. Let’s go back to our featured game for our preferred prop bets of the night. The over/under for the Avalanche versus the Maple Leafs is 6.5, and we like the under in this game.
As for individual props, take Cale Makar to get a power play point in this game for Colorado. He’s up to 19 points on the year, and is looking to strike at any moment. On the Toronto side of things, take Matthew Knies to get an anytime goal. He only has 12 on the year, but we think he continues to momentum from Friday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights. In that one, he had three shots on goal and added two assists.
