Our best NHL player props for Wednesday, November 5

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

Prop #1: Jordan Kyrou Over 2.5 shots on goal

+100 at BET99

Make no mistake, the Washington Capitals are a shot-suppressing team and allow the fifth fewest per game.

Still, St. Louis Blues winger Jordan Kyrou has three or more in five of his past six games for 18 total shots on 38 attempts, and he’s also sporting a team-high 58.2 Corsi For percentage this year. 

Additionally, this price has overadjusted for the matchup. Kyrou usually trades 25 to 30 points lower in this market.

Prop #2: Joel Farabee Over 1.5 shots on goal

-140 at BET99

Calgary Flames winger Joel Farabee has impressed in the past 10 games with a dominant 61.1 Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5, and he’s recorded two or more shots in eight of the 10. 

This is also a green-light matchup, with the Columbus Blue Jackets allowing the most shots per game (34.0) and fifth-most attempts per 60 minutes at 5-on-5.

I also value the chemistry Farabee has showcased alongside No. 1 center Nazem Kadri. The duo sport an elite 65.2 CF% with a 60.9% shot share at 5-on-5.

Prop #3: Jake DeBrusk Over 2.5 shots on goal

-120 at BET99

Vancouver Canucks winger Jake DeBrusk paces the team in shots this season (42) through 14 games, and he also racked up 10 on the highway the last time he faced the Chicago Blackhawks. 

There’s a sneaky special-teams edge here, too. Chicago averages the fifth-most shorthanded time per game, and Debrusk is the primary shooter on the No. 1 power-play unit, with team-high marks in shots and attempts on the man advantage.
