Nathan MacKinnon NHL Player Prop & Goal Scorer Odds for Wednesday, Oct. 11
Best Nathan MacKinnon Player Prop Odds
Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon recorded 111 points in 71 games last season, good for 1.6 per game. However, he’ll have to face a Los Angeles Kings squad that surrendered the fourth-fewest expected goals against per game last year at just 2.9. MacKinnon recorded just one point in two games against the Kings last year while averaging five shots on goal per game. Using OddsShopper’s NHL shop pages, we can quickly find the best Nathan MacKinnon player prop bet.
Although MacKinnon averaged five shots on goal per game against the Kings last season, they weren’t evenly distributed. He took eight shots on goal in their first meeting but only two in the second.
