As the NHL regular season enters its final week, the action heats up with a packed 10-game slate tonight. For those looking to add an extra layer of excitement to the viewing experience, a few standout player props are catching our eye, featuring some of the league's most dynamic talents.
Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets has been a model of consistency this season, sitting 10th in league scoring with 34 goals and 65 assists. The veteran center has been dishing the puck with particular flair lately, recording an assist in three of his last four games. With seven helpers already in April and a road matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights—a team he's set up goals against twice this season—he's in a prime position to keep his playmaking streak alive.
Switching to the blue line, New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox remains one of the premier facilitators from the back end. With 43 assists this season, his vision is a key weapon. He's been on a hot streak with the helpers, hitting the over in three of his last four outings, including two multi-assist performances. As a quarterback on the Rangers' potent top power-play unit, and facing a Florida Panthers team that ranks 28th in goals against, Fox has an excellent opportunity to pad his assist total tonight.
Finally, expect a classic bounce-back performance from the game's best player. Connor McDavid was held without a point and just one shot in a rare quiet outing against the Kings on Saturday. History suggests that's an anomaly. The Oilers' captain, sitting third in the NHL with 47 goals, has scored in two of his last three games, including a hat-trick just last Wednesday. While the matchup is tough, a player of McDavid's caliber is always a threat to erupt and remind everyone why he's a three-time MVP.
