Best NHL Prop Bets Today 2025 12 30 Panthers Sam Reinhart

With Jakub Dobes expected to get the start in net for Montreal, the Florida Panthers will have a great opportunity to light up the scoreboard as the Canadiens goalie struggles to give them the protection they need to help limit the amount of variance in their contests. Later in the night, we turn our attention towards the Philadelphia Flyers as their defense faces off against a Vancouver Canucks front line who generates Shots on Goal at a very low rate.

Montreal Canadiens vs. Florida Panthers - Prop Bets (7:00 PM, EST)

Florida Panthers Team Total Over 3 (-155) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Even though the Florida Panthers have been dealing with injuries to their key players, their offense has still been able to play at a high level as the reigning Stanley Cup champions rank top-10 in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Their versatility and depth has played a major role in their success this year as eight players currently average more than 0.25 Expected Goals per game.

Heading into Tuesday night, the Panthers front line will be able to build on their momentum as they face off against a Montreal Canadiens defense who resides near the bottom of the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations. Especially with Jakub Dobes expected to get the start for Montreal as the Canadiens goalie is averaging nearly three Goals Against per game and a .894 Save Percentage. Should the Panthers team total climb up to 3.5, then reduce the size of your wager.

Sam Reinhart Anytime Goal Scorer (+165) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since the start of the regular season, Sam Reinhart has been able to consistently pressure the net as the Panthers center is averaging 0.54 Expected Goals and 2.54 Shots on Goal per game. With his linemates stretching out the Canadiens back line, Reinhart will be able to exploit their gaps in coverage and generate high quality Shots on Goal in front of the crease for the full duration of the contest.

Philadelphia Flyers vs. Vancouver Canucks - Prop Bets (10:00 PM, EST)

Vancouver Canucks Team Total Under 3 (-155) at BetMGM Sportsbook

It has been an abysmal start to the year for the Vancouver Canucks as they are currently 15-19-3 and in last place in the Presidents’ Trophy standings. Their low level of play on offense has held them back from being able to compete as their front line ranks 26th in Expected Goals For in All Situations and 29th in 5-on-5 Play while no one on their roster averages more than three Shots on Goal per game.

In a matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers, expect the Canucks struggles on offense to continue to persist as they face off against a back line who ranks above league average in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots. With their back line lessening the quality of Vancouver’s Shots on Goal, expect Dan Vlader to consistently wall them off as he is averaging just 2.38 Goals Against per game. For some more exposure, escalator bet the Canucks team total by placing smaller wagers on their alternate unders.

New York Islanders vs. Chicago Blackhawks - Prop Bets (8:30 PM, EST)

Tyler Bertuzzi Anytime Goal Scorer (+200) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Even when receiving minimal support from his linemates, Tyler Bertuzzi has still been able to create high quality Shots on Goal as the Chicago Blackhawks forward is averaging 0.45 Expected Goals per game. With the New York Islanders ranking 31st in Expected Goals Against in All Situations, Bertuzzi will be able to generate a higher volume of shot attempts while blitzing through their underwhelming back line which increases his chances of scoring.
