The Vancouver Canucks are a dumping ground, and every line for the Rangers is live to find the score sheet. Also, don't sleep on the Nashville Predators, who are taking down a lot of good opponents lately.

It was a profitable "Puck Props" show on Thursday, with another 7+ units, bringing the total to +53 units on the Wednesday-to-Friday show live at 11 a.m. ET. Here are some of the NHL picks making an appearance today.

The New York offense is going to roll with the best matchup in hockey, and don't sleep on the Predators, who have been on a roll and beating good teams.

These are my favorite NHL predictions for Friday, Nov. 13.

Pick #1: Gabe Perreault power-play point

Novig probability: 18%

Gabe Perreault is on the power play and gets a matchup against the worst penalty kill in hockey.

He's 200 points too long in this spot, and the only thing keeping him at this price is his lack of production with the man advantage. However, there isn't a better matchup to get that first power-play point than Vancouver.

Perreault is also playing on the top line alongside Mika Zibanejad and Alexis Lafrenière, making his point prop very much in play at 53%. I think this should be closer to 58-60% in a game where the Rangers should be able to score four or more goals.

Vancouver ranks dead last in GAA at 4.50 and has been outscored 25-13 during its six-game losing streak. This is an excellent spot to buy into the Rangers' offense.

Pick #2: Tye Kartye + JT Miller + Pavel Dorofeyev Over 0.5 points each

Novig probability: 31%

There is no reason not to load up on Rangers stacks tonight against Vancouver and their league-worst GAA and penalty kill.

They also rank dead last in xG%, second last in goal share, and near the bottom in expected goals against per 60. This is arguably the best offensive matchup in hockey, and the Rangers come in hot, winning four of their last five games.

The second line is starting to produce, with the Tye Kartye and JT Miller stack hitting in three of their last five games. Adding Pavel Dorofeyev is an easy decision, as he's on PP1 and should have plenty of opportunities against a penalty kill operating below 70%.

It's tough not to have a heavy Rangers presence on the card tonight.

Pick #3: Mavrik Bourque Over 0.5 points

Novig probability: 46%

Mavrik Bourque is rolling with the big boys on the top line and playing on the first power-play unit.

The Predators have ripped off six straight wins, including some impressive victories over the Avalanche, Lightning, and Hurricanes. Bourque has points in two of his last three games and is playing 17-18 minutes while continuing to contribute offensively.

The Golden Knights aren't the easiest matchup, but they did just give up three goals in their last game, and Nashville has shown it can produce against quality competition lately.

Given his current role and increased opportunity, I think this point prop should be priced closer to 54-56%. There's value here.

  • Matchup: Predators vs. Golden Knights
  • Time: 10 p.m. ET
  • Location: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, NV
