Our best NHL player props for Monday, April 20
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points
Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers begin their playoff journey tonight against the Anaheim Ducks, as they look to hopefully conquer their Stanley Cup demons in the next couple of months.
The three-time Hart Trophy winner comes into Game 1 hot, cashing the Over in points in three of his last five appearances.
McDavid led the NHL in points this season at 138. He always turns it up a notch come playoff time, and the superstar has dominated the Ducks this season. He’s grabbed seven points in this three games.

Prop #2: Kirill Kaprizov anytime goalscorer
Kirill Kaprizov is one of the league's best goal scorers, and he showed it once again this season. The Russian netted 45 goals, ranking fourth in the NHL. Kaprizov was everywhere in the Game 1 win over the Dallas Stars, scoring and tallying a pair of assists.
He’s now scored six times across his previous five outings, and Kaprizov has definitely turned it up against Dallas. In three regular-season meetings, he’s also found the back of the net three times.
He also has 16 SOG across his last five. He’ll help exploit Dallas’s defensive struggles from Game 1 again.

Prop #3: Trevor Zegras Over 0.5 assists
Trevor Zegras had a wonderful first season for the Philadelphia Flyers, scoring 26 goals and notching 41 assists. His playoff debut on Saturday was an impressive one as well, setting up one of Philly’s three goals in a Game 1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The 25-year-old has now cashed the Over in helpers in four of his last six appearances, and three of those contests were on the road. The Flyers visit the Pens again tonight for Game 2. During the regular season, all three of his points against Pittsburgh were assists.
