Our best NHL player props for Thursday, March 26
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Brandon Hagel Over 0.5 assists
Brandon Hagel is a massive piece for the Stanley Cup-chasing Tampa Bay Lightning. He has 69 points this season, including 36 assists.
The Saskatoon native is handing out helpers left and right at the moment, cashing the Over in four of his last five games. The 27-year-old has seven assists during that span.
He tallied a helper on Tuesday against the Wild, and tonight, the Bolts face the Kraken. Hagel already dominated them earlier in the campaign, registering three assists.
Seattle has also lost four in a row, while allowing 10 goals across their last two contests.

Prop #2: Cole Caufield anytime goal
Cole Caufield is a serious contender to take home the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy for 2025-26, as he’s only two goals behind Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead.
The Montreal Canadiens star is on fire right now, finding the back of the net in five of his last six. Caufield has scored four times across the last two games alone, notching a hat-trick on Saturday against the Islanders before scoring in Tuesday's win over the Hurricanes.
He’s scored in five straight at home, and the Habs take on the Blue Jackets at Bell Centre tonight.

Prop #3: Brock Faber Over 1.5 shots on goal
Brock Faber is averaging 2.20 SOG per game this season, and he’s cashed the Over in seven of his last eight appearances. It’s rare for Faber not to have at least a couple of shots on target.
Faber notched three SOG in Tuesday’s loss to Tampa Bay. He’s averaging 2.08 SOG on the road as the Wild visit the Panthers tonight.
Florida is a "plus" matchup for defensemen, allowing 7.63 shots on goal per game to the position.
Faber plays big minutes for the Wild, and he’s part of their top defensive pair. More ice time means more opportunity to put pucks on net.
