Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Kirill Kaprizov / Over 0.5 Points / 0.5 at -120 / 72% / Kaprizov’s high usage on top line and power play against Ottawa’s depleted defense (Chabot out) supports over, with 75% hit rate in recent home games and Senators allowing 1.2 points per game to top forwards.
Player Prop #2: Brady Tkachuk / Over 2.5 Shots on Goal / 2.5 at -115 / 68% / Tkachuk’s shot volume averages 3.8 per game this season, elevated on road matchups; Wild’s penalty kill weakness boosts chances against their average shot suppression.
Player Prop #3: Matt Boldy / Over 0.5 Points / 0.5 at +110 / 65% / Boldy’s chemistry with Eriksson Ek (if active) and Ottawa’s high-danger vulnerabilities yield 70% multi-point potential, backed by Boldy’s 1.1 xGF/60 in similar spots.
