Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs
The Minnesota Wild have been one of the best road teams in the NHL this season, boasting an impressive 18-5-3 record away from home. Despite their strong performances, they’ve struggled to generate consistent goal production, making Joel Eriksson Ek a key piece in their offensive puzzle.
The Swedish center has been the Wild’s most reliable scorer recently, tallying two goals in his last five games while maintaining a high volume of shot attempts. Given that the Toronto Maple Leafs defense has allowed three or more goals in four of their last five games, there’s a strong chance for Eriksson Ek (+240) to capitalize on scoring opportunities in this matchup. The value is too good to pass up.
Top Prop: Joel Eriksson Ek Anytime Goal Scorer (+240)

Los Angeles Kings vs Florida Panthers
The Los Angeles Kings and Florida Panthers square off for the second time in a week, and Sam Bennett is expected to be heavily involved once again. In their last meeting, Bennett was one of the most active players on the ice, finishing with four shots on goal, the most for any Panther.
The gritty forward has been aggressive with his shot selection, recording 4+ shots in four of his last five games. The Kings play a structured defensive system but still allow their opponents to generate volume. With Florida likely pushing the pace at home, Bennett should have plenty of opportunities to test the net. Backing Bennett Over 3.5 SOG (+260) is a strong value play.
Top Prop: Sam Bennett Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+260)

Vancouver Canucks vs Nashville Predators
The Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators meet in a rematch of last year’s playoff battle, and J.T. Miller remains a focal point of Vancouver’s offense. Despite swirling trade rumors, Miller has been a steady producer, tallying five points in his last five games while maintaining an aggressive approach in the offensive zone.
The veteran forward has registered 4+ shots in two of his last four games, including when these teams last faced off. Given the Predators’ tendency to allow high shot volume, Miller is in a prime spot to hit this mark again. At +430 odds, this play provides excellent value for those looking for a high-upside prop.
Top Prop: J.T. Miller Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+430)
Wednesday night’s NHL player props feature three strong plays backed by recent trends and matchups. Joel Eriksson Ek (+240) has a great chance to find the net against a shaky Maple Leafs defense, Sam Bennett (+260) should continue his aggressive shot production against the Kings, and J.T. Miller (+430) offers tremendous value to hit his shots-on-goal prop against Nashville. Let’s cash in on these high-value bets.
