Mason McTavish’s totals don’t pop off the page, but he has produced at a very healthy rate, excluding matchups against top-tier defensive sides.
He is not facing one at home tonight, which is why he headlines my three NHL picks for Sunday, March 1.

Our best NHL player props for Sunday, March 1
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Jordan Kyrou Over 2.5 shots
Jordan Kyrou has averaged 3.3 shots on goal over his last 10 games, clearing 2.5 shots in nine of them. He did it despite a difficult strength of schedule in which he faced several low-event, structured teams built to limit shots (Dallas x3, Winnipeg, Los Angeles).
He now draws a Minnesota Wild team that ranks dead last in shots and shot attempts allowed over their last 10 games.
They rank 30th in slot shots allowed during that span, which is Kyrou’s primary shooting zone. Kyrou has 3+ shots in 10 of the last 11 against Minnesota, and his success should continue.

Prop #2: Mark Scheifele anytime goal
The San Jose Sharks rank 30th in goals allowed, 31st in shot suppression, and only two teams have given up more shots per game to centers.
That bodes well for Mark Scheifele. The veteran pivot leads the Jets in goals, powered by a remarkable 23.3% finishing rate. He doesn’t need many opportunities to score, and he should get plenty in this matchup.
Scheifele has attempted at least five shots in both games since returning from the Olympic break. With more of a shooting mentality, he should break through in San Jose.

Prop #3: Mason McTavish Over 0.5 points
Excluding opponents who rank in the Top 10 in limiting goals, Mason McTavish has hit the scoresheet in 60% of his games this season. That already strong hit rate soars to 72% when playing on home soil.
He’s been extremely consistent in these spots. Only once since November 1st has McTavish gone back-to-back games without a point against a non-Top-10 defense; never at home.
The Calgary Flames rank 21st in goals allowed per 60 minutes on the road and are in the latter half of a back-to-back. This is a good spot for McTavish to make noise.
- Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
