Best NHL Prop Bets Today: Expect the Oilers Offense to Round Back Into Form

After a slow start to the season, the Edmonton Oilers front line are in a favorable position to round back into form as they face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets who severely underwhelm in coverage. Before their puck drop takes place, we turn our attention towards the New York Rangers as their back line has the opportunity to put together a dominant performance by consistently smothering the Nashville Predators anemic offense.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Edmonton Oilers - Prop Bets (8:30 PM, EST)

Edmonton Oilers Team Total Over 3.5 (-135) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Even with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl playing at a high level, the Edmonton Oilers offense have struggled as a whole as the Stanley Cup contenders currently rank below league average in Expected Goals For in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play. Other than the two previously mentioned future hall of famers, only two other Oilers average more than 0.25 Expected Goals per game.

Fortunately for the Oilers, their offense will have a great opportunity to round back into dominant form as they face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets who rank dead last in Expected Goals Against in All Situations with an average of 4.12 Expected Goals Against per game. Especially with Elvis Merzlikins struggling to mask their low level of play with his own individual production in net as the Blue Jackets starting goalie is averaging over three Goals Against per game.

Connor McDavid Anytime Goal Scorer (+115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Speaking of McDavid, the three time Hart Memorial trophy winner has been able to consistently pressure the net this season as the Oilers center heads into Monday night averaging 0.44 Expected Goals and 3.06 Shots on Goal per game. With his supporting cast expected to generate a higher volume of shots on goal due to the Blue Jackets underwhelming coverage, this will open up wider shooting lanes for McDavid to exploit.

Nashville Predators vs. New York Rangers - Prop Bets (7:00 PM, EST)

Nashville Predators Team Total Under 2.5 (-130) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After struggling to play at a competitive level on defense last year, the New York Rangers back line have managed to elevate their level of play as they currently rank top-5 in Expected Goals Against in All Situations. Their suffocating coverage has helped Igor Shesterkin get off to a hot start to the year as the former Vezina Trophy winner is averaging just 2.42 Goals Against per game and a .909 Save Percentage.

In Monday night’s contest against Nashville, Shesterkin will be able to put together another dominant performance as he faces off against a Predators offense who ranks near the bottom of the board in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Their lack of versatility will allow Shesterkin to remain relatively still in the crease which increases his chances of walling off their low quality Shots on Goal. Should the Predators team total drop down to a flat two, then reduce the size of your wager.

New York Islanders vs. New Jersey Devils - Prop Bets (7:00 PM, EST)

Timo Meier Anytime Goal Scorer (+205) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Like the Oilers, the New Jersey Devils front line have also failed to carry over last year’s success into this season. Even with his linemates struggling, Timo Meier has still been able to generate high quality Shots on Goal as he is averaging 0.44 Expected Goals per game. With the New York Islanders grading out poorly in coverage as their low mark in Expected Goals Against indicates, Meier will be able to generate a higher volume of shot attempts which increases his chances of scoring.
