Our best NHL player props for Wednesday, October 22
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Zach Benson Over 0.5 assists
Buffalo Sabres winger Zach Benson has piled up six helpers across three games since returning to the lineup, and he’s also skating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit. The third-year winger logged a monster 21:11 last time out, and he’s sporting a rock-solid 52.3 Corsi For percentage and 56.4 expected goals percentage at 5-on-5.

Prop #2: Lucas Raymond Over 0.5 assists
Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond is up to 97 assists across 168 games, dating back to the beginning of the 2023-24 campaign, which includes three in four games to start this season. He’s skating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit and has clicked with go-to linemate Dylan Larkin for a healthy 4.25 goals per 60 minutes overall while driving possession with a respectable 52.5 Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5 during the highlighted stretch.

Prop #3: Cole Caufield Over 2.5 shots on goal
After piling 16 shots across the first five games of the season, Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield has checked the column just a single time in consecutive games. This is a bounce-back spot for the high-volume shooter. Caufield still paces the Habs in shots while tying for the team high in attempts, which of course comes on the heels of leading Montreal in both last year, too.
