Our best NHL player props for Thursday, October 23
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Tyler Bertuzzi Over 1.5 shots on goal
Chicago Blackhawks winger Tyler Bertuzzi is skating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit with superstar Connor Bedard, and there hasn’t been a lot of flash from the Tampa Bay Lightning to start the season. Tampa has allowed the fourth-most shots per game (31.3) while ranking 26th in Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5.
Bertuzzi and Bedard have also combined for a 67.2 CF% and 66.7% shot share at 5-on-5 through seven games – albeit across a small 28:37 sample.

Prop #2: Cutter Gauthier Over 0.5 points
Anaheim Ducks emerging star Cutter Gauthier has picked up five points across six games while marking the scoresheet in three of six. He’s skating in a go-to offensive role on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit, and sports a rock-solid 58.5 Corsi For percentage and 56.6 expected goals percentage at 5-on-5.
This is also a soft matchup with the Boston Bruins, ranking 24th in CF% and 31st in xGF% at 5-on-5, while also allowing 4.2 goals per night during a five-game losing streak.

Prop #3: Jordan Kyrou Over 2.5 shots on goal
Jordan Kyrou has only converted 10 of his 25 attempts into shots (40%) through six games after converting 52.9% across the past three years. It’s an early outlier, and after recording 10.49 shots and 19.83 attempts per 60 minutes during the noted three-season stretch, his respective 5.73 and 14.31 marks through six games have screaming statistical correction ahead.
I also value that he’s skating in a top-line role, with the No. 1 power-play unit, and has posted a rock-solid 57.9 Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5 to start the year.
