Player props have become one of the most exciting aspects of fantasy sports. Underdog Fantasy offers as many as six different props on some players which can make it difficult to find the best value. 

For tonight's NHL slate we have seven games on tap, which means plenty of options for player props. There are many different ways to approach props but I have selected a few of my favorites from the New Jersey Devils and St. Louis Blues. Be sure to check out our NHL Tools when locking in your picks on Underdog Fantasy!

 

NHL Underdog Fantasy Top Picks December 30

Jesper Bratt, New Jersey Devils - HIGHER than 2.5 Shots

Jesper Bratt is having a great season with 42 points through 34 games. He skates on the top line and power-play alongside Jack Hughes, making him a constant threat to score. The Bruins are a solid defensive team but they surprisingly also allow the 7th most shots per game at 32.2. Bratt has gone higher than 2.5 shots in seven of his last ten games and should find plenty of chances in this game.

Pavel Buchnevich, St. Louis Blues - HIGHER than 2.5 Shots

Pavel Buchnevich skates on the top line and power-play unit for St. Louis and has been pretty productive despite being on a team ranked 23rd in scoring. He has gone over the 2.5 shot mark 10 times in his last 12 games and I don’t expect the Penguins to slow him down. Pittsburgh allows 30.7 shots per game and DraftKings has his over 2.5 shots set at -115.
