Today's Top NHL Player Prop Bets: Iafallo Leads the Charge!

The thrilling world of NHL betting has seen dramatic fluctuations recently, particularly evident in the results from last night where every betting angle faltered, ending the day with an unfortunate 0-for-3 run. It’s noteworthy that Mondays have consistently posed challenges, with a staggering -14 units lost over the past three weeks. However, all stacks remain positively buoyant overall, with a remarkable +45.45 units gained since early March.

As we gear up for a packed schedule tonight featuring 10 teams, the betting landscape offers a plethora of exciting opportunities. Below are my three top NHL player prop bets for tonight, March 25.

NHL Player Prop Bets:

1. **Dylan Cozens & Drake Batherson Over 0.5 Points (+240 at Bet365)** The Ottawa Senators face off against James Reimer and the Buffalo Sabres tonight, presenting an encouraging environment for points to be scored. Dylan Cozens has made a significant impact since joining Ottawa, racking up points in every game except one over the last eight matches. The combined scoring chances between him and Drake Batherson have hit an impressive rate, yielding results in four of the last six outings at a standing average of +240/+250. This matchup also features a compelling underlying narrative—a revenge factor—as Ottawa looks to assert dominance over the Sabres while occupying a solid position five points above the ninth-ranked Eastern Conference team. Cozens’ odds appear underpriced considering he’s at even money for a point (with a fair expected price of around -140) and +550 for a power-play point, especially since both teams struggle with penalty kills. At DraftKings, the odds are hitting +222, still attractive for punters.

2. **Alex Iafallo Over 0.5 Points (+155 at DraftKings)** Alex Iafallo has been elevated to the top line for the Winnipeg Jets, also getting valuable time on the first power-play unit. This change could yield significant offensive chances, particularly at home. Although it seems daunting to face the NHL’s top team, Washington, recent metrics suggest that their performance has not matched their standing. With 33% of Washington's last 15 games ending with nine or more total goals, this could turn into an offensive showcase. Stacking Iafallo with linemates Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele pays out at +310 at DraftKings, but sticking with Iafallo alone is a safer bet given the match dynamics and his anticipated ice time.

3. **Philip Danault & Warren Foegle Over 0.5 Points Each (+350 at Bet365)** The second line in Los Angeles, featuring Philip Danault and Warren Foegle, has been a lucrative betting option this season. Even with Trevor Moore sidelined, they managed to deliver a win at +325 in their previous game. Books often misprice these lines, treating them as secondary, but they consistently receive more ice time at even strength than the top line, showcasing solid scoring potential. The duo has hit the scoresheet together in 50% of their last eight outings, netting an impressive +13.75 units in the last seven games, regardless of the changing personnel around them.

Final Notes

Tonight’s matchups promise numerous opportunities for bettors willing to capitalize on these insights. The Kings also have a favorable home record of 8-0-2 since the break, suggesting that tonight could be a ripe environment for goals. Stay tuned for updates and live odds as the NHL action unfolds!
