Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Jesper Bratt / Over Shots on Goal / 2.5 at -120 / 70% / Bratt’s high usage rate (avg 3.1 SOG last 10 games) exploits Canucks’ weak perimeter defense (allowing 32 SOG/game to forwards), with no injury concerns.

Player Prop #2: Elias Pettersson / Under Points / 0.5 at -115 / 65% / Pettersson faces Devils’ stout PK (88% efficiency) and top-pair shutdown, averaging under 0.5 points in 7 of last 10 road games vs. similar defenses.

Player Prop #3: Nico Hischier / Over Faceoff Wins / 12.5 at -110 / 72% / Hischier’s 58% faceoff win rate in current season shines at home, projected to exceed line against Canucks’ middling center matchups and injury-weakened draws.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
