Connor Bedard has piled up the points this season, hitting the scoresheet 33 times through just 24 games and silencing a lot of doubters along the way.
The Chicago Blackhawks center has a nice matchup against an Anaheim Ducks team missing its starting goaltender, making him the headline target of my three NHL player props for Sunday, November 30.

Our best NHL player props for Sunday, November 30
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Cutter Gauthier Over 3.5 shots
Cutter Gauthier is enjoying a monster breakout season for the Anaheim Ducks. He sits fourth in the league in shots on goal, and the only three players ahead of him have played more games and at least 70 more minutes. He legitimately generates shots as efficiently as anybody.
The volume should be there — and in bulk — against the Chicago Blackhawks. They play at one of the league’s highest paces and have bled shots all year long, giving up an average of 30.5 per game.
A lot of the shots have come from opposing wingers, with just five teams allowing more shots per game from wings.
The Ducks will need all the shots they can get to beat Spencer Knight, who sits second in the NHL in Goals Saved Above Expected. That should lead to plenty off the stick of Gauthier.

Prop #2: Connor Bedard Over 0.5 assists
Lukas Dostal is sidelined for multiple weeks, which means Petr Mrazek is taking over as the temporary starter for the Ducks. That’s a massive boost to Connor Bedard and Chicago’s offense as a whole.
Mrazek has not played well this season, owning a .881 SV% through six starts. He has allowed at least three goals in five of six, only limiting a Minnesota offense that sits 23rd in goals per game.
Bedard has done a great job of facilitating offense for others, especially when rested. He has recorded 16 assists through as many games, and he should be able to build on those outputs against a Ducks team that’s giving up a lot of chances and playing without a quality goaltender to mask it.

Prop #3: Shayne Gostisbehere Over 0.5 points
Shayne Gostisbehere is a very good offensive defenseman who benefits greatly from cushy usage on home soil.
The Carolina Hurricanes veteran has racked up 12 points through eight games at home. His only Under came early in the year against a very talented Golden Knights team that was firing on all cylinders out of the gate.
Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames... are not that. They’ve won just nine of 27 games, and starting goaltender Dustin Wolf has struggled, posting a measly .890 SV%.
Carolina has scored goals more efficiently at home than all but Colorado this season. With the Hurricanes presenting goaltending issues of their own, they’ll likely need to rely on Gostisbehere and their offense to get another win.
