Our best NHL player props for Thursday, March 19
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Ilya Sorokin Over 25.5 saves
-115 at BET99
New York Islanders star Ilya Sorokin is building a Vezina Trophy case with a rock-solid .914 save percentage and league-high 51.5 goals saved above expected, and he’s set to see plenty of rubber against the Ottawa Senators.

The Sens have averaged 30.1 shots per game while ranking fourth in Corsi For percentage during their active 11-3-2 run.

Prop #2: Pavel Dorofeyev Over 2.5 shots
-130 at BET99
Vegas Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev has picked up three or more shots in nine of 11 games out of the Olympic break. His 11.45 shots per 60 minutes during the run also rank 11th in the league.
Although the matchup is tough against the Utah Mammoth, it’s more than built into this price, and I also value Vegas having the last-change advantage on home ice to find favorable opportunities for Dorofeyev and linemates Tomas Hertl and Mitch Marner.

Prop #3: Nikita Kucherov Over 1.5 points
-120 at BET99
The Vancouver Canucks have allowed the second-most goals per game (3.8) out of the Olympic break, and Tampa Bay Lightning superstar Nikita Kucherov is on an all-time heater with 30 multi-point showings across his past 44 games.
Kucherov is up to 6.25 points per 60 minutes during the run, and to further put the dominance in perspective, only Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have a higher points per 60 mark than Kucherov’s 4.35 assists per 60 minutes.
