Our best NHL player props for Saturday, January 31
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Leon Draisaitl Over 1.5 points
Leon Draisaitl is having a monster campaign for the Edmonton Oilers, scoring 26 goals and tallying 51 assists for a total of 77 points. The German superstar has cashed the Over in points in three straight games as well.
During that span, Draisaitl has a whopping 10 points. He posted three points on Thursday as the Oilers beat the Sharks, then on Monday, he also had another four points in a victory against the Anaheim Ducks.
Edmonton faces the Minnesota Wild tonight at home, and Draisaitl has two points against them this season across two meetings.

Prop #2: Macklin Celebrini Over 3.5 SOG
Macklin Celebrini is fully living up to the hype as the former first overall pick. He’s doing it all for the San Jose Sharks, racking up 79 points, and averaging an impressive 3.42 SOG per contest. Celebrini has also cashed the Over in shots on target in three straight appearances.
The youngster has actually hit the Over in SOG in nine of his 12 outings in January as well, highlighting Celebrini’s ability to create opportunities in the offensive end. San Jose is up against the Calgary Flames this afternoon, who are 22nd in most shots allowed.
Celebrini is also averaging 3.69 SOG on the road as the Sharks visit Calgary here.

Prop #3: Connor McDavid anytime goal
Connor McDavid looks motivated to win his fourth Hart Trophy this season, collecting a league-best 94 points. That includes 34 goals, which ranks second in the NHL as well. McDavid has been on fire in January, scoring 10 times already.
The superstar has found the back of the net in three straight games, and during that span, McDavid has four goals. Facing the Wild is nothing new to him, and he’s already had success against them this season. McDavid has one goal in the two meetings with Minny.
20 of his goals have been at Rogers Place, and the four goals across the previous three outings have all happened at home.
