Best NHL Player Props for November 11
Leon Draisaitl 2+ Points (-115)
Draisaitl has totaled five multi-point games in his past six outings, and the 31-year-old has done it in 12 of his 19 games this season. He has 36 points (18G, 18A) so far, and his 5.18 points per 60 rank second among 598 skaters with at least 100 minutes of ice time. His 18 goals and eight power-play goals both lead the Oilers.
Philadelphia is a rather friendly matchup for a top line that has outscored opponents 21-6 at 5v5. The McDavid-Draisaitl-Podkolzin trio has controlled 62.1% of the 5v5 xGoals across 223 minutes together. As a team, the Flyers allow 2.78 xGoals against per 60 at 5v5, the fifth-most of any club. Their actual 5v5 goals against (2.65 per 60, ninth-most) tell the same story, and over their last 10 games, no team has allowed more high-danger shots per 60 (3.46). I expect Draisaitl to be in the middle of plenty of that action tonight.
Mitch Marner 1+ Assist (-120)
Sebastian Cossa will likely get the start between the pipes for Utah, and his -3.5 GSAx and -1.12% SV% above expected rank 63rd and 61st, respectively, among 75 goaltenders. The Mammoth have actually limited chances well over their last 10 games, allowing just 2.87 xGoals against per 60, the sixth-fewest in the NHL, but they have still surrendered 4.16 goals per 60 during that span, good for the third-most.
Marner has been a home cash cow, notching an assist in eight of his nine home games for 11 total apples. The 29-year-old leads the Golden Knights with 17 assists through 17 games, and his 1.50 primary assists per 60 at 5v5 rank 15th among skaters with 100+ minutes of 5v5 ice time. With a struggling goaltender on the other side, the puck should find the back of the net, with Marner setting it up.
Erik Karlsson 1+ Assist (-130)
Karlsson has been a different player away from home, picking up an assist in nine of his 10 road games this season. The 36-year-old has 15 assists in 18 games overall, and his 1.28 secondary assists per 60 rank sixth among defensemen with 100+ minutes. He also plays on the Penguins’ top power-play unit.
The odds are not necessarily enticing, but this is still a spot worth paying for. San Jose allows 3.82 xGoals against per 60, the most in the NHL, and that number has increased to 3.97 over its last 10 games, which is also the worst mark in the league. Yaroslav Askarov has bailed the Sharks out to a degree, as his +3.8 GSAx and +0.49% SV% above expected rank 17th and 19th, respectively, but a defense that bleeds so many quality looks should give Karlsson plenty of chances to set up a goal.
