Best Player Props for the Matchup

Among all possible player props, one in particular stands above the rest as the best value here. That prop would be Tyler Seguin over 2.5 shots on goal. Despite the near-even odds of +110, Seguin’s history shows that this could be a major cash cow on Wednesday night.

Over his last 10 matchups against the Blackhawks, Seguin has shot at least three or more times on net in all 10 of them, as well as shooting four times or more in seven out of those 10. It is rare that props with this kind of history are listed at plus odds, making this a prime candidate to go over at great +110 odds.

Past this, there is some value to be had in anytime goal scorers like Jason Robertson (-114), who is the team leader on the season with 34 goals across 57 games. Robertson has also been on fire against the Blackhawks in recent seasons, scoring at least one goal in four out of the last five games against them and registering six total in that span.

On the Blackhawks side, Patrick Kane’s assist line of at least one has been given very approachable +125 odds by legal sportsbooks. On the year, Kane is tied for his team’s leader despite less games played, with 28 assists in 53 games. Against the Stars, Kane has logged an assist in three out of his last five games with four assists total.

Kane has largely been considered as one of the best passers and stickhandlers in recent history and will have the opportunity to put this on full display against the division rival Stars while also generating profit at nice +125 odds.
