Best NHL Prop Bets for Wednesday, Jan. 14
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
- Travis Konecny Anytime Goalscorer (+230) at Sabres
- Artemi Panarin OVER 0.5 Assists (-130) vs. Kraken
- Shea Theodore OVER 0.5 Points (+115) at Kings
Travis Konecny Anytime Goalscorer (+230) at Sabres
Travis Konecny started the season a bit slow, but the Flyers winger has picked it up since being put on a line with Trevor Zegras and Christian Dvorak.
He has 18 points (9 goals, 9 assists) in 18 games since December 3, starting with a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win against these Sabres. He also scored on December 18 in Buffalo. That’s a vast improvement from his five goals in his first 25 games, including an 11-game drought before that first Buffalo game.
The Flyers need to get their offense going in Buffalo, and Konecny is the perfect guy to do that. It’s much safer to take him to get a point (-142), but I’ll take my chances with a goal at +230.
Artemi Panarin OVER 0.5 Assists (-130) vs. Kraken
The Rangers are in the basement of the Eastern Conference, but Artemi Panarin is still putting up points in a contract year. The winger has 50 points (34 assists) in 46 games, and is quite hot as of late.
Panarin is riding a seven-game assist streak with 10 helpers in that span. He has 30 points (20 assists) in 22 games dating back to November 26 as well.
Even with a slow start, Panarin has recorded an assist in 22 of 46 games thus far. The Rangers have had some trouble scoring at home, but they get a tired Senators team on a back-to-back tonight. Panarin should be able to find the scoresheet with an assist against Ottawa.
Shea Theodore OVER 0.5 Points (+115) at Kings
The Golden Knights are one of my NHL best bets for tonight, and that’s partially due to Shea Theodore being healthy again. The defenseman plays big minutes for Vegas while contributing on the scoresheet as well.
Theodore scored a goal in each of his first two games back from injury, both wins for the Knights. He now has 22 points in 33 games this season, which is impressive considering he had just one point in his first six games and five points in his first 14 contests.
Since November 10, though, Theodore has 17 points in 19 games, and was held off the scoresheet in just five of those contests.
