Our best NHL player props for Sunday, March 15

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

Prop #1: Kirill Kaprizov anytime goalscorer

+105 at BET99

Kirill Kaprizov had his three-game goal streak snapped last night, but the Minnesota Wild star is poised to find the back of the net again today vs. the tanking Toronto Maple Leafs.

Toronto is allowing 3.46 goals per game — the worst mark in the NHL — along with 32.1 shots against per game, which ranks dead last.

Kaprizov has scored in 11 of his last 16 outings while averaging nearly four shots per game over that span. He’ll come out firing tonight and will bury one against a porous Toronto team.

  • Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: TNT

Prop #2: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points

-130 at BET99

Connor McDavid continues to lead the league in points, and the Edmonton Oilers captain could be due for a big night on the score sheet against the Nashville Predators.

Nashville ranks tied for fifth-last in the NHL in goals allowed per game (3.40), giving up at least three goals in 18 of its last 20 contests.

McDavid has Over 1.5 points in six of his last nine outings, with multiple points in each of his previous two meetings vs. the Preds this season.

  • Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: FDSN North, Sportsnet West

Prop #3: Brady Tkachuk Over 3.5 shots

-120 at BET99

Brady Tkachuk is well known for his shooting prowess, and he has not disappointed this season, ranking second in the NHL in shots per game (3.87) behind only Nathan MacKinnon (4.48).

The Ottawa Senators captain has logged Over 3.5 shots in three of his last four games, as well as seven of his last 11 contests.

The San Jose Sharks are an exciting young team, but haven’t quite figured out their own zone yet, allowing 30.4 shots against per game — the second-most in the NHL.

  • Time: 5:00 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: NBCS-California, TSN5
