Our best NHL player props for Senators vs Rangers

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

Prop #1: Igor Shesterkin Over 26.5 saves

-105 at BET99

The New York Rangers have surrendered the second-most shots per game (32.5) out of the holiday break, and the Ottawa Senators have recorded the fourth-most (31.5).

As a result, I’m anticipating Rangers starter Igor Shesterkin to be busy tonight.

He’s also turning in another solid season with a .912 save percentage and the seventh-most goals saved above expected.

Prop #2: Claude Giroux Over 0.5 points

+130 at BET99

Ottawa Senators veteran Claude Giroux is lining up with leading scorers Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson on the No. 1 line, and the 38-year-old winger has marked the scoresheet in four of his past six games.

The trio has been dominant at five-on-five with a 60.9 Corsi For percentage and 59.2 expected goals percentage, and the New York Rangers have surrendered a healthy 3.45 goals per game since the calendar flipped to March.

Prop #3: Vincent Trocheck Under 0.5 points

+120 at BET99

New York Rangers center Vincent Trocheck is penciled in to play the middle on the third line tonight, and the Ottawa Senators have allowed the fewest goals per game during their active 13-3-2 heater.

Trocheck and projected linemates Will Cuylle and Taylor Raddysh have only been on the ice for 1.87 expected goals per 60 minutes and a 39.7 xGF% at five-on-five this season, too.

These props are available now at BET99, one of our best betting sites.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
