Our best NHL player props for Monday, April 13

Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.

Prop #1: Mark Scheifele Over 0.5 assists

-125 at BET99

Mark Scheifele continues to produce the goods for the Winnipeg Jets. He’s scored 34 goals and tallied 65 assists this season, ranking 10th in the NHL. The veteran has cashed the Over in helpers in three of his last four contests. 

In fact, Scheifele has already notched seven assists in April. The Jets take on the Vegas Golden Knights this evening, and the 33-year-old has two helpers across two meetings with Vegas. He’s also grabbed 28 assists in 39 road contests.

Prop #2: Adam Fox Over 0.5 assists

-130 at BET99

Adam Fox is one of the best playmaking defensemen in the NHL. He’s registered 43 assists in 2025-26. The veteran has cashed the Over in helpers in three of his last four appearances, and he’s posted 2+ assists in two of those games.

He’s part of the New York Rangers’ top defensive pairing. He also plays on the PP1 alongside the likes of Mika Zibanejad, JT Miller, and Vincent Trocheck, all guys who can put the puck in the back of the net. 

That also means more opportunities to create chances for his scorers. The Rangers also face the Florida Panthers, who rank 28th in goals allowed, and Fox has already notched an assist against them.

Prop #3: Connor McDavid anytime goal

+105 at BET99

It’s a rare sight to see Connor McDavid have barely a shot on target and zero points. That was the case on Saturday in a 1-0 loss to the Kings, but he’ll bounce back tonight. The three-time Hart Trophy winner has 47 goals this season, which is third in the NHL. 

He’s also netted in two of his last three, scoring a hat-trick against the Sharks on Wednesday. McDavid is in for a tough matchup tonight against the Colorado Avalanche, but he's never shied away from a challenge and has already scored twice against them this season across two matchups. He also has nine SOG in those meetings. The chances will be there.
