Best NHL Prop Bets Today: Expect the Ducks to Fall Back Down to Reality

After a hot stretch of play, negative regression looms large over the Anaheim Ducks as they face off against the Edmonton Oilers who pressure the net at a very high rate. Before their puck drop takes place, we turn our attention towards the Philadelphia Flyers as Samuel Ersson is in a great position to round back into form by consistently walling off the New York Islanders low quality Shots on Goal.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Edmonton Oilers - Prop Bets (8:30 PM, EST)

Edmonton Oilers Team Total Over 4 (-155) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After a slow start to the year, the Edmonton Oilers have started to get into a groove as the preseason betting favorites for the Stanley Cup are now 26-19-8 and just two points back from the Vegas Golden Knights for first in the Pacific division standings. Their turnaround on offense has played a major role in their recent success as the Oilers front line ranks in the top-5 in Expected Goals For in All Situations with an average of 3.37 Expected Goals per game.

In a favorable matchup against Anaheim, expect the Oilers to build on their momentum as they face off against a Ducks defense who ranks near dead last in Expected Goals Against in All Situations. No matter who gets the starting nod for Anaheim in net, expect either goalie to continue to underwhelm as Lukas Dostal and Ville Husso both average more than 3.00 Goals Against per game and a Save Percentage lower than .900. If the Oilers team total climbs up to 4.5, then reduce the size of your wager.

Zach Hyman Anytime Goal Scorer (+127) at FanDuel Sportsbook

With Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins pulling defensive attention away from him, Zach Hyman is able to consistently pressure the net as the Oilers forward is averaging an astonishing 0.70 Expected Goals per game. Against the Ducks, expect Hyman to continue to generate high quality Shots on Goal as their lackluster coverage will create wider shooting lanes in front of their crease for him to exploit.

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

New York Islanders Team Total Under 3 (-175) at BetMGM Sportsbook

It has been a turbulent past few weeks of play for the Philadelphia Flyers as they are currently 3-5-2 in their last ten games. While their offense has struggled, their defense has been able to keep them competitive, fielding a back line who resides near the top of the board in Expected Goals Against in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play.

Fortunately for the Flyers, they will have a great opportunity to hold the New York Islanders off the scoreboard as they face off against a front line who ranks 30th in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Even with Samuel Errson struggling in their net, the Islanders lack of versatility will allow him to remain fairly still as only three players average more than 0.30 Expected Goals per game. For some more exposure, escalator bet the Islanders team total by placing smaller wagers on their alternate unders.

Los Angeles Kings vs. Columbus Blue Jackets - Prop Bets (7:00 PM, EST)

Adrian Kempe Anytime Goal Scorer (+172) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Even though the Los Angeles Kings offense have struggled as a whole, Adrian Kempe has still been able to thrive as he is currently averaging 0.33 Expected Goals and 2.78 Shots on Goal per game. With the Columbus Blue Jackets ranking in the bottom five in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots, Kempe will be able to generate a higher volume of Shots on Goal near the crease which increases his chances of scoring.
