Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Connor McDavid / Over Points / 1.5 at -115 / 72% / McDavid’s ongoing 17-game streak and high usage against Kings’ defense (xGA vulnerable in current season) support exceeding this line, with 70% hit rate in home games.

Player Prop #2: Leon Draisaitl / Over Shots on Goal / 3.5 at +105 / 68% / Draisaitl averages 3.8 SOG recently, exploiting LA’s penalty kill weaknesses; matchup data shows elevated volume in divisional tilts.

Player Prop #3: Anze Kopitar / Under Points / 0.5 at -130 / 65% / Kopitar’s production dips on the road (under 55% in 2026 away games), facing Edmonton’s strong top-pair shutdown without key secondary scoring support.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans toward the Oilers, aligning with sharp money indicators and simulation edges, making a follow strategy optimal rather than a fade. Edmonton’s offensive efficiency (top-5 xGF per 60) clashes with LA’s middling high-danger defense, projecting a moderate-scoring affair but with flipped value on the over due to historical unders performing well in predictions. No major injuries disrupt key contributors like McDavid, enhancing home confidence.
