NHL Player Prop Bets

A bettor can decide if they want to bet on some of the following NHL player stats:

Player anytime goals
Player goals over/under
Player anytime assist
Player assists over/under
Player points over/under
Player block shots over/under
Player shots over/under
Goalie Save Total over/under

These are just some of the many player props one can bet on as one can also decide if there is going to be a hat-trick scored, who scores first/last, and more. Player props have different odds than regular NHL odds as they rely on individual player performance rather than the team as a whole.

For example, one could bet on a player anytime goal for a losing team and still win their bet if that player scores a goal at any point in the game.

Best NHL Players Bets Strategy

One strategy that is considered when analyzing NHL player stats is watching for a top goal scorer and if he has been goalless for more games than normal.

If a guy is scoring an average of one goal every two games but has been without a goal for seven games, one would likely bet on him to score the next game knowing he is due. You could say the same for someone who is known for getting a lot of points or assists but has been held without one for longer than normal.

NHL Stats FAQs

Since player props typically have better odds than some moneyline, spread, and over/under odds do, most people bet a lower stack than they normally would. For example, if you typically bet $50 on game result bets, it is suggested you bet around the $20-25 mark for player props.

Unlike betting game results, sportsbooks typically don’t allow bettors to wager on player props while the game is being played. Bettors will need to bet on player props before the game starts.

It depends on the stat. Most will offer the basics of anytime goal, anytime assist, anytime point, etc. but some will offer the top eight players from each team while others offer every player on the team. It is on the bettor to find the best available props and odds as they often change by sportsbook.
