Best NHL Prop Bets for Friday, March 13
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
- Mathew Barzal OVER 0.5 Assists (-120) vs. Kings
- Robert Thomas OVER 0.5 Points (-165) vs. Oilers
- Jimmy Snuggerud Anytime Goalscorer (+270) vs. Oilers
Mathew Barzal OVER 0.5 Assists (-120) vs. Kings
Mathew Barzal has been hot since the Olympic break. The Islanders forward has nine points (eight assists) in seven games, finding the scoresheet in all but one of those contests.
Barzal is now up to 60 points (42 assists) in 64 games this season. He’s recorded at least one assist in 35 of those 64 games, including against the Kings last week.
I like the Islanders to take care of business at home against the Kings, and Barzal should help them do that tonight.
Robert Thomas OVER 0.5 Points (-165) vs. Oilers
Robert Thomas came through for us last night, and I’m going right back to him tonight.
Thomas now has points in all six games since his return from injury, stretching his point streak to eight games dating back to January 9.
Thomas has 13 points in those 8 games, and has recorded a point in 29 of 48 games this season.
The Oilers have been leaking goals recently, and Thomas should help the Blues get on the board with at least one point tonight.
Jimmy Snuggerud Anytime Goalscorer (+270) vs. Oilers
Jimmy Snuggerud plays on the Blues’ top line with Thomas, so we’re doubling down a bit here, but these +270 odds seem too good to be true for the youngster.
Snuggerud has scored five goals during a four-game streak, including two last night in Carolina. The rookie is now up to 15 goals in 53 games on the season, with 8 of them coming in his last 12 games.
