Our best NHL player props for Monday, March 30
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: John Carlson Over 0.5 assists
John Carlson is lighting up lately for the playoff-bound Anaheim Ducks. He’s cashed the Over in helpers in three straight games and has notched seven assists over that span. He’s collected 44 helpers overall this season.
The 36-year-old has handed out two assists in each of the last two contests, and he has 17 helpers in 30 home games as the Ducks welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to town tonight. Carlson has also produced against the Leafs, posting two assists in two meetings in 2025-26.

Prop #2: Martin Necas Over 0.5 assists
Martin Necas is having a marvelous campaign for the Colorado Avalanche, scoring 34 goals and tallying 55 assists. He’s a terrific player who can do it all offensively. The Czech native has logged an assist in three of his last five games.
Necas has a pair of multi-assist games during that span, and he’s really produced at home. Necas has 26 assists in 33 outings at Ball Arena, and the Avs host the Calgary Flames this evening, a team that's not great defensively.
The 27-year-old is a big piece of this electric offense, and he’s usually playing his part. I’ll take him to notch a helper.

Prop #3: Rickard Rakell anytime goalscorer
Rickard Rakell is not exactly a household name, but he’s a key piece for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 32-year-old has 17 goals this season, and he’s scored seven times in March. In fact, Rakell has found the back of the net in three of his last five.
The veteran scored twice on Thursday against the Senators, and he also had a goal last Tuesday against the Avalanche. Tonight, the Pens take on the New York Islanders, and Rakell has a goal against them across two meetings.
He’s also generated 11 SOG across the last three games, which is above his average. More chances equal a higher likelihood of him lighting the lamp.
