Some say that the best way to start your week is with some NHL player props. Our NHL prop team is 6-2 over our last 8, and we are looking to keep things rolling with a pair of props tonight. Along with these plays, don’t forget to check out our full game previews for all of tonight’s matchups.

Roope Hintz over 0.5 goals (+186)
Line available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Roope Hintz is a big reason why the Dallas Stars have won 6 games in a row and 8 of their last 9. In that 9-game stretch, Hintz has caught fire with 9 goals. He recorded a hat-trick last Tuesday against the Hurricanes, but was held off the score sheet completely on Thursday against the Blue Jackets. He seems to have a great chance at finding the back of the net tonight against the Coyotes. Arizona is allowing 3.63 goals per game, which is the 3rd-most in the league. In the meeting between these teams last Saturday, Hintz scored a goal 54 seconds into the game. He is in quite the groove right now, and facing a weak defensive team like the Coyotes seems to favor Hintz’s goal-scoring ability. There is tremendous value at +186, so consider backing Hintz to score a goal in tonight’s contest.

Jack Hughes over 0.5 points (-120)
Line available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Jack Hughes has now played 3 games since returning from a 17-game absence dealing with a dislocated shoulder. He might be feeling more comfortable with a few games under his belt. Hughes scored a goal against the Jets on Friday, and he seems to have a favorable matchup tonight against the Senators. Ottawa is allowing the most goals per game in all of hockey (3.91), and they have given up 13 goals in their last 3 games. They have also allowed 23 total goals in their last 5 road games, good for an average of 4.6 goals per game during that stretch. In 3 career games against the Senators, Hughes has tallied 2 points (1 goal, 1 assist). That is obviously a small sample size, but given Ottawa’s defensive struggles so far this season, it seems likely that Hughes finds the score sheet tonight.
