Troy Terry is enjoying the most productive season of his career, averaging a point per game for the first time in Year 1 under Joel Quenneville.

Riding shotgun with budding star Leo Carlsson, he's well-positioned to build on his strong totals against the Buffalo Sabres. Terry headlines my three NHL player props and NHL picks for Sunday, March 22.

Our best NHL player props for Sunday, March 22

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

Prop #1: Nikolaj Ehlers Over 0.5 points

-140 at BET99

Nikolaj Ehlers is playing his best hockey since joining the Carolina Hurricanes. He has hit the scoresheet in 12 of his last 18 games, tallying 17 points along the way.

He’s in a good spot to continue producing against the Pittsburgh Penguins, who rank Bottom-6 in shots, expected goals, and goals allowed at 5-on-5 over their last 10 games.

They've also struggled to keep the puck out in back-to-backs this season. The Penguins have conceded an average of 3.40 goals over the last 10 second legs they have played.

Expect the red-hot Ehlers to take advantage.

  • Where to watch: FDSN-South, SportsNet-Pittsburgh

Prop #2: Thomas Harley Over 1.5 blocked shots

-135 at BET99

Death, taxes, and Thomas Harley blocking shots against the Vegas Golden Knights. He's picked up at least two in six straight head-to-head meetings and 12 of the last 13.

There should be plenty of volume to step in front of again tonight. The Golden Knights sit 10th in total attempts this season and have scored once during their three-game losing streak.

They don’t have a lot of wiggle room in the playoff race and will be desperate to jumpstart the offense and distance themselves from the teams trying to hunt them down.

Look for Harley to be active in the defensive zone.

  • Where to watch: SCRIPPS, Victory+

Prop #3: Troy Terry Over 0.5 points

-135 at BET99

Troy Terry has averaged 2.59 points per 60 minutes of 5-on-5 play while riding shotgun with No. 1 center Leo Carlsson. That is high-end first-line efficiency for the Anaheim Ducks.

Given as much, it should be no surprise Terry has points in eight of 11 home games in which he has skated with Carlsson.

The Buffalo Sabres are a good team, but they rank 22nd in expected goals against at 5-on-5 over their last 10. They also play a high-event brand of hockey and have conceded more than 30 shots on average spanning the past 10 road dates.

Terry and the Ducks’ offense should cause the Sabres problems.

  • Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: MSG-Buffalo, Victory+
