Our best NHL player props for Sunday, February 1

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

Prop #1: Corey Perry Over 0.5 points

+115 at BET99

Los Angeles Kings forward and ageless wonder Corey Perry is still finding his way onto score sheets in 2026.

He's registered at least a point in six of the last seven games and in 10 of the last 12. Perry's averaging over a point-per-game since the New Year, and books are notably undervaluing him.

The vet posted two assists against the Philadelphia Flyers last night, and he's playing at his best point pace in a decade.

Prop #2: Darren Raddysh Over 2.5 shots on goal

+100 at BET99

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Darren Raddysh has undoubtedly been the most improved player in the NHL this season. He has 47 points in 46 games (already a career-high), hitting the Over for shots in four straight and in seven of the last nine.

The D-man had a sizeable uptick in shot volume around mid-December, and he's tied for fifth among defensemen in shots since December 13. Raddysh faces a Bruins team that ranks 27th in shots allowed.

Prop #3: Cutter Gauthier Over 2.5 shots on goal

-170 at BET99

Taking one player prop from each game may appear to be a spiny task, but there's value in each one of them.

Anaheim Ducks leading scorer Cutter Gauthier has been a shooting machine this season, as his 202 shots trail only Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon.

He's hit the Over in eight of the last nine games, and despite Vegas ranking third in the league in shot suppression, Gautier has eight shots in two games played against them in 2025-26. The forward also has 18 shots in his last four games.
