As the 2024-25 NHL season approaches, fantasy hockey enthusiasts are eager to make their predictions and place their bets. Here are 10 enticing prop wagers to consider, featuring some of the league’s top players.
Alex Ovechkin’s goal-scoring prowess is well-documented, and it’s hard to imagine him not reaching the 30-goal mark. With a strong track record, including 31 goals last season, the odds are in his favor to surpass 29.5 goals.
David Pastrnak is poised for another impressive season, thanks in part to the Bruins’ new No. 1 center, Elias Lindholm. Expect Pastrnak to break the 50-goal barrier once again, making the -115 odds a worthwhile investment.
Kirill Kaprizov is entering his prime and looking to secure a lucrative long-term deal with the Wild. With a healthy campaign, he’s likely to flirt with the 50-goal mark, making the +185 odds an attractive bet.
Jake Guentzel has consistently produced 40-goal seasons, and with Nikita Kucherov by his side, he’s well-positioned to do so again. The +250 odds make this a tempting wager.
Tyler Bertuzzi’s goal-scoring ability is undeniable, and with Connor Bedard on his line, he’s likely to reach the 20-goal mark. The -155 odds reflect the high probability of this outcome.
In a head-to-head matchup, Sidney Crosby’s consistent goal-scoring prowess gives him the edge over Brock Nelson. With a career average of 0.47 goals per game, Crosby is the safer bet at -115.
J.T. Miller’s impressive point-per-game average makes him a strong contender to outscore William Nylander. As the Vancouver forward is likely to play on the top line, the even odds make this a compelling wager.
Cale Makar’s incredible 90-point season last year sets the bar high, but he’s averaged 1.13 points per game over the past three seasons. With a healthy campaign, he’s likely to outscore Evan Bouchard, making the -145 odds a solid bet.
Darcy Kuemper is looking to bounce back from a disappointing season, and with the Kings’ solid defense and weaker Pacific division, he’s poised to win more than 25.5 games. The -115 odds reflect the high probability of this outcome.
Finally, Charlie Lindgren’s chances of winning 24.5 games or more are slim, given the competition from Logan Thompson and the Capitals’ shaky defense. The -115 odds make this a smart under bet.
