Best NHL Player Props: Mark Scheifele to Keep Jets Hot? (April 20)

Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele has been a key contributor for the team for many years and has been leaned on this season as the Jets were able to use a late-season charge to snag the final wild card spot in the Western Conference. Playing the role of underdog didn’t stop Scheifele and the Jets in Game 1, as they jumped out to a 1-0 series lead over the No. 1 seed Las Vegas Golden Knights. Bettors are now lining up their best Jets-Knights bets for Game 2 on Thursday night, and one Mark Scheifele player prop stands out above the rest.

Best NHL Player Props: Mark Scheifele Stand Out in Jets-Knights Game 2

Mark Scheifele Player Prop: O/U 0.5 Points 

OddsShopper Premium is high on Mark Scheifele’s player props for Thursday night, but bettors should check out the models to find more top NHL bets to lock in throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Despite firing off four shots on goal in the 5-1 win, Scheifele was held off the score sheet in Game 1. But it was one of few instances where he did not figure into any of the team’s scoring of late. Scheifele led the team with 42 goals during the regular season, adding 26 assists. He logged a point in five of six games before the postseason, making the over 0.5 points (-130 on PoinstBet) a top Jets-Knights bet.

Scheifele sat out the regular season finale against the Colorado Avalanche with a playoff spot locked up but is believed to be at 100% health (or as close to it as any other player in the playoffs). Even in his age-30 season, Scheifele has proven he is still a main catalyst for the Jets’ offense. And despite not figuring into the scoring in Game 1, Scheifele still proved he is going to be an X-factor throughout the series.

Look for the Jets center to remain active in Game 2, making the over on points an appealing play on the board.
