Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Kyle Connor / Over 0.5 Points / -120 / 72% / Connor’s high usage rate (25% on Jets) and Devils’ average PK make this likely, averaging 0.8 points per game recently.

Player Prop #2: Jack Hughes / Over 3.5 Shots on Goal / +105 / 68% / Hughes leads Devils in shots (3.8 avg) against Jets’ middling defense, with favorable matchup data supporting over.

Player Prop #3: Connor Hellebuyck / Over 27.5 Saves / -115 / 70% / Expected high shot volume from Devils’ offense (32 shots/game) boosts Hellebuyck’s save prop based on season averages.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment favors the Jets due to home-ice advantage, but sharp money distribution shows balance toward the Devils, aligning with mathematical edges from xGF differentials and injury impacts. Following the Devils side optimizes EV, as Jets’ defensive lapses (3.1 xGA/60) are exploited by Devils’ attack. Overall scoring outlook leans under, with both teams’ save percentages above league average suggesting fewer goals than public expects.

🔮 Recommended Play
