Our best NHL player props for Sunday, January 25

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

Prop #1: Mark Stone Over 1.5 points

+145 at BET99

Mark Stone has been one of the NHL’s most consistent producers this season, finding the score sheet in 31 of his 34 appearances, while currently riding a 14-game point streak.

The Vegas Golden Knights captain has collected multiple points in five of his last nine contests, and I suspect he’ll pick up a few more points against his former team, the Ottawa Senators.

Ottawa has been one of the league’s worst defensive squads this year, allowing 3.39 gpg (28th) while also owning the 32nd-ranked team save percentage (.870).

Meanwhile, Vegas has been on a heater with eight wins in its last 10 games while scoring a league-best 4.60 gpg over that span. The Golden Knights will score in bunches tonight, and Stone will be in the middle of the action as usual.

Prop #2: Sidney Crosby Over 0.5 assists

+100 at BET99

The Pittsburgh Penguins captain enters Sunday on a five-game point streak with at least one assist in four of those contests, and he’ll add another helper tonight vs. the lowly Vancouver Canucks.

Vancouver is in full-on tank mode after trading captain Quinn Hughes back in December. Since Dec. 22, the Canucks have lost 14 of their 16 games while allowing a massive 4.38 gap — the worst mark in the NHL.

The Pens are heating up with a 4-0-1 record in their last five contests, scoring 5.0 gpg through that stretch. Sidney Crosby should factor in at least one tally tonight in what projects as a high-scoring game for Pittsburgh.

Prop #3: Cutter Gauthier Over 3.5 shots

+100 at BET99

The Anaheim Ducks remain without star center Leo Carlsson following a thigh injury, which means other players have had to step up.

Fortunately for Anaheim, they’ve got another breakout forward in Cutter Gauthier, who leads the team with 23 goals and 45 points.

At just 22 years of age, Gauthier has already emerged as one of the NHL’s best shot creators. The Ducks winger has 191 shots on net this season, the third most in the league behind only Nathan MacKinnon (226) and Connor McDavid (200).

Gauthier has logged Over 3.5 shots in five of his last six outings and looks poised for another high-volume effort against the Calgary Flames, who have surrendered nearly 32 shots per game over their last nine contests.
