Our best NHL player props for Wednesday, January 28
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Owen Tippett Over 2.5 shots on goal
The Columbus Blue Jackets allow the second-most shots per game (30.7) and fifth-most attempts per 60 minutes, and Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett has recorded three or more shots in 11 of 15 games out of the holiday break for 48 total on 95 attempts.
Tippett’s 11.75 shots and 23.26 attempts per 60 minutes also rank ninth and seventh, respectively, in the NHL during the stretch. He’s also the primary shooter with the man advantage and sports a team-high 56.3 Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5 across the past 15 games.

Prop #2: Vladislav Gavrikov Over 1.5 shots on goal
New York Rangers defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov has averaged 25:05 of ice time with 3:00 on the power-play while recording two or more shots in seven of his past 10 games.
This matchup isn’t horrible, either.
The New York Islanders have surrendered the 10th-most shot attempts per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 while ranking 26th in Corsi For percentage across 15 games out of the holiday break.
- Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
- Where to watch: MSGSN, MSG2
Prop #3: Victor Olofsson Over 0.5 points
Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar has bumped Victor Olofsson up to the top line, and the winger has logged 55:37 of ice time with superstar Nathan MacKinnon over the past three games. The Avs have an unsustainably low 5.7 team shooting percentage with the duo on the ice, too.
With Olofsson also skating on the No. 1 power-play unit, and the Ottawa Senators ranking 30th in penalty-kill percentage, this is a ripe opportunity for statistical correction to kick in.
- Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
- Where to watch: ALT, SN
