NHL Player Props Today: Wednesday, October 21
There are 2 games on the NHL board this Wednesday. We ran every posted player prop through the same analysis as the PropsIQ app and kept the 5 with the strongest case — a recent record against the line and a reason it should hold tonight.
Built with the PropsIQ app — the same data and analysis, for every prop on the board.
Dan Vladar Over 24.5 Saves
Dan Vladar has made 25+ saves in 9 of his last 10 games. He's on the road at the Buffalo Sabres tonight, with the over at -125.
Why it can hit
- His floor clears the line. His worst game in 5 was 25.0, still above 24.5.
- The opponent is implied to score. The market has BUF at 4.00 goals in a 6.5-goal game.
- Priced in our favour. The model makes this 87% against a no-vig market price of 52% — a 35% edge at -125.
The case against: the opponent is short-handed. Conor Timmins (D), Jack Rathbone (D), and Matt Grzelcyk (D) are out for Buffalo Sabres — fewer shooters.
Noah Ostlund Over 1.5 Shots on Goal
Noah Ostlund has recorded 2+ shots on goal in 7 of his last 10 games. He's at home to the Philadelphia Flyers tonight, priced at +100 to do it again.
Why it can hit
- Soft matchup for the position. Philadelphia Flyers allow 22.8 shots on goal per game to forwards — 3rd most in the league, 15% above the 19.8 average.
- Implied for a big night. The market has BUF at 4.00 goals in a 6.5-goal game.
- Priced in our favour. The model makes this 66% against a no-vig market price of 46% — a 20% edge at +100.
The case against: coin-flip recent sample. Cleared 1.5 in 2 of his last 5 — 1, 1, 1, 3, 5 (most recent first).
Tage Thompson Over 3.5 Shots on Goal
Tage Thompson has recorded 4+ shots on goal in 8 of his last 10 games. He's at home to the Philadelphia Flyers tonight, priced at +120 to do it again.
Why it can hit
- Soft matchup for the position. Philadelphia Flyers allow 22.8 shots on goal per game to forwards — 3rd most in the league, 15% above the 19.8 average.
- Implied for a big night. The market has BUF at 4.00 goals in a 6.5-goal game.
- He's the shooter. 17% of his team's shots (4.7 per game).
The case against: coin-flip recent sample. Cleared 3.5 in 3 of his last 5 — 5, 6, 1, 1, 6 (most recent first).
Tim Stützle Over 0.5 Assists
Tim Stützle has recorded an assist in 8 of his last 10 games. He's at home to FLA tonight, with the over at +100.
Why it can hit
- Priced in our favour. The model makes this 77% against a no-vig market price of 47% — a 30% edge at +100.
- In on most of the offense. He has a point on 55% of his team's goals.
- Big minutes. 22:06 of ice time per game — the volume is there.
The case against: market moving to the under. The over has drifted from -120 to +100 since it opened — money is on the other side.
Seth Jones Over 0.5 Points
Over his last 10 games, Seth Jones has recorded a point 6 times. He's on the road at OTT tonight, priced at -110 to do it again.
Why it can hit
- Priced in our favour. The model makes this 58% against a no-vig market price of 49% — a 9% edge at -110.
- Season pace clears the line. At 1.1 per game, he clears 0.5 about 67% of the time.
- Big minutes. 25:30 of ice time per game — the volume is there.
The case against: boom-or-bust profile. His game-to-game spread is wide (136% of his median), so the hit rate is a much shakier guide than it looks.
