The NHL rolls on with a big Thursday slate this evening. We’ve got Stars-Predators and a bunch of other games trading at near pick’em odds. If you’re new to betting on hockey, I recommend you read our NHL betting strategy guide or our NHL player prop betting strategy guide, but without further ado, here are the top NHL player prop picks and predictions for today, Thursday, October 10 — including a Matthew Tkachuk player prop.

Profitable sports betting strategy ultimately comes down to place a large number of profitable bets over the long term, not hitting one moonshot parlay a year (or less). You can’t win every bet, but you can win more than you lose over the long run, and Portfolio EV can help you do just that.
Last season, Portfolio EV, our proprietary sports betting model, went 8,531-7,813 (6.1% ROI) on all +EV NHL bets with an OS Rating of 2 or higher.

Now let’s dive into the top three NHL player props for today, October 10, per Portfolio EV. These were as of publication, and since lines can move quickly, you should check this page for more current +EV NHL bets!
The tools operate in a straightforward manner: they aggregate odds from various sportsbooks to calculate a breakeven price for each bet, referred to as “true odds.” With this figure in hand, we can then assess the +EV (expected value) of each line across all available sportsbooks.
Tonight, the top NHL player prop pick appears to be Matthew Tkachuk to go over 0.5 assists. You can find this bet trading for +120 at BetMGM, where we went 237-176 (18.3% ROI) on all assist props last year. You can more of our +EV betting results posted here.
The model likes this Tkachuk prop because the +120 at BetMGM is beat the +110 at Fliff and Hard Rock –– along with the -111 at Pinnacle, a sharp book, for the same wager. Take advantage of this misprice before sharp bettors bid it off the board.
Down the board, we see bets for Marco Rossi and Anthony Duclair trading with +EV, albeit slightly less. You can use our proprietary OS Rating to distinguish the quality of a given wager.
Again, make sure to check out Portfolio EV for more +EV NHL player props. You can sign up for $29.95 per week, $99.95 per month — or you can get a free month by signing up with one of our partner sites.
