Our best NHL player props for Monday, March 16

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

Prop #1: Moritz Seider Over 2.5 shots on goal

+135 at BET99

Moritz Seider has really upped his shot volume without Dylan Larkin in the Detroit Red Wings lineup. He has averaged 4.0 shots on 7.8 attempts over four games since Larkin went down with an injury.

He did it against a difficult string of opponents as well. Seider faced the sixth, seventh, 11th, and 14th-best teams in the league when it comes to suppressing shots. He still recorded 3+ shots on goal in three of four, and at least six attempts in all four.

Seider should excel against a Calgary Flames team that sits 31st in shot suppression over their past 10 games.

Prop #2: Trevor Moore Over 2.5 shots on goal

+115 at BET99

The Los Angeles Kings are dealing with cluster injuries on the wing, most recently losing Kevin Fiala and Joel Armia.

Trevor Moore has stepped up without those players in the mix,  averaging 3.4 shots on 6.6 attempts and going over 2.5 shots in seven of eight appearances. Moore recorded two shots in the only exception, so he has given himself a fighting chance every single night.

A lot of his volume comes from the slot, where the New York Rangers rank 28th in shots allowed over the last 10 games.

  • Where to watch: FDSN West, MSG

Prop #3: Anze Kopitar Over 0.5 points

-130 at BET99

Nobody is happier about Artemi Panarin's arrival in L.A. than Anze Kopitar. He is centering Panarin and Adrian Kempe — the team’s two leading scorers — on the top line, and his production rate has predictably taken off.

Kopitar has points in six of seven games playing between the two star wingers, despite five coming against teams in playoff position.

While the Rangers have improved defensively, they still sit tied for 20th in goals allowed. This is a solid matchup for Kopitar to stay hot.

  • Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: FDSN West, MSG
