Alright, the NHL is fully back. There are eight Games on the docket Tuesday, and our NHL player props have you covered for action.

Today’s NHL prop picks and best bets

Prop bet #1: Kuzmenko crashes in Beantown

I suspect joining the Calgary Flames will ultimately be a positive for Andrei Kuzmenko, but if he couldn’t make it work for the first-place Vancouver Canucks, I’m skeptical he hits the ground running on Tuesday. After all, the Canucks are the highest-scoring team in the league (3.8 goals per game), and Kuzmenko missed the scoresheet in 12 of his final 13 showings with the club.

Additionally, I have no love for his projected line with Yegor Sharangovich moving to center and Jonathan Huberdeau on the opposite wing. Sharangovich has only taken 81 faceoffs this season and Sports a -3.7 relative Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5, and I am expecting him to struggle playing the middle on the road against the Boston Bruins. Sharangovich and Huberdeau have also lost the goals for (37.5%) and expected goals for (44.4%) battles at 5-on-5 this season.

Boston is 16-4-3 on home ice while allowing the fourth-fewest goals per game (2.39) and sporting a third-ranked 85.9 penalty-kill percentage. These Andrei Kuzmenko odds aren’t fully accounting for his poor individual play or my expectation that his projected line struggles against the Bruins.

Andrei Kuzmenko prop: Under 0.5 points (-115 at Bet99)

Prop bet #2: Stars bring Big D to Buffalo

The Buffalo Sabres have been rolling out balanced lines at 5-on-5, with winger Alex Tuch skating alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Jordan Greenway. It worked across the two games prior to the All-Star break, with Tuch collecting a pair of goals and an assist, but an uptick in class awaits Tuesday. The Dallas Stars are icing a fully healthy lineup, surrender the fewest expected goals per 60 minutes (2.24) at 5-on-5, and sport a seventh-ranked 82.9 penalty-kill percentage.

Dallas is a matchup nightmare with a full lineup, and Buffalo spreading its top scorers across multiple lines limit’s Tuch’s offensive upside. Additionally, the Stars have taken the third-fewest minor penalties at 5-on-5, so it doesn’t check out as a favorable power-play matchup for the Sabres, either.

Finally, I value these Alex Tuch odds because he’s missed the scoresheet in 20 of 42 games and eight of his past 15. He’s being priced as a go-to scorer, but his 10 multi-point games have accounted for 22 of his 32 points this season. Add the drop in the lineup, and this is a long number to target.

Alex Tuch prop: Under 0.5 points (+130 at Bet99)

Prop bet #3: Colton cooks vs. Devils

The New Jersey Devils remain depleted with injuries, and missing No. 1 center Jack Hughes (upper body) has been particularly tough. New Jersey is 3-6-1 with a 47.5 Corsi For percentage and 48.0 expected goals for percentage at 5-on-5 during Hughes’ latest injury absence. The Devils have also allowed the second-most goals per Game (3.8) during the skid.

It’s a good setup for the Colorado Avalanche and emerging scorer Ross Colton. He’s piled up nine points through his past eight games and remains a fixture on the No. 1 power-play unit. Additionally, I value his high-end possession numbers since settling into a middle-line role with wingers Miles Wood and Logan O’Connor. The trio have clicked for an elite 64.7 CF% and 4.65 goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 over the past five games.

Additionally, I value these Ross Colton odds because I give the Avs an advantage in having already played and shaken off the rust out of the All-Star break. New Jersey hasn’t laced them up since losing 6-3 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, January 27.

Ross Colton prop: Over 0.5 points (+135 at Bet99)
