Learn how to use the Dimers Pro NHL tools to find the best player props to make on Saturday, March 7.
A 10-game NHL slate is packed with betting opportunities on Saturday, March 7, and we've identified three NHL props to bet on using the Dimers Pro suite of NHL features.
By carefully comparing today's best player prop value with data-backed NHL trends and statistical insights, we can utilize our NHL predictions to find these three NHL props that can be played as straight bets or in an NHL parlay.
With the addition of two new prop markets for Dimers Pro users, Points and Assists, we have more data at our disposal than ever before as we look to cash in, and we're putting it all to use in this one.
How to find these NHL props
Dimers' NHL tools feature three primary resources for identifying player prop value:
- NHL Props - identify mispriced lines on the books based on our probabilities
- NHL Trends - which highlight hot and cold players
- NHL Game Predictions - which feature first & anytime goalscorer probabilities.
Each of these resources presents different datapoints to use in order to narrow down a multi-game slate full of players to a handful of targets worth a look.
Target these three NHL players on Saturday, March 7
By utilizing all of these Dimers Pro NHL tools, we've identified these players as ideal goalscorer or point targets on Saturday.
1. Nikita Kucherov (Lightning)
Game: Lightning vs. Maple Leafs
Time: 7:00PM ET
The first player we're looking at feels like a no-brainer and the Dimers data aligns with that notion.
Ranking 12th in the NHL in goals and 2nd in assists, Nikita Kucherov pops up with a pair of favorable trends, scoring a goal in 8 of his L12 games and picking up at least two points in 17 of his L25, both of which can be found at plus money.
We saw a similar pair of prop trends for the Hurricanes' Cole Caufield last night as highlighted on the Dimers Sports Betting Podcast, with Caufield successfully picking up a pair of goals.
Kucherov's matchup is favorable and one that he's exploited very recently. The Maple Leafs allow the fourth-most goals in the NHL at 3.46 per game, giving up 4+ in five games of their current six-game losing streak.
That streak began vs. this Lightning team in a game that Kucherov picked up three total points on two assists and a goal.
He gets a 44.3% probability to score tonight.
2. Logan Cooley (Mammoth)
Game: Mammoth vs. Blue Jackets
Time: 7:00PM ET
For our next bet, we'll turn to the NHL props page where we find a triple edge on the Mammoth's Logan Cooley.
After missing nearly two full months, Cooley returned to action after the Olympics break and has picked up one goal and two assists in that time.
Tonight, our model identifies an edge on him in three markets: to get a point, to record an assist and to score a goal. A point covers both of those markets and gets a 53.8% probability at plus-money odds, presenting the biggest value of the three
Cooley's 28.9% probability to score a top four probability in the game and he'll face a Blue Jackets team that's allowed 4+ goals in three of five games since the break and will be starting goalie Elvis Merzlikins who has a 3.47 GAA and .887 SV% this season.
3. Kyle Connor (Jets)
Game: Canucks vs. Jets
Time: 7:00PM ET
A third way to find goalscorer targets is to start with the game matchup itself, in this case, we have the Jets vs. the Canucks, who allow the most goals in the NHL.
The Jets get our highest win probability of the day at 67%, setting up an ideal game for multiple goals.
Kyle Connor is second on the Jets in goals, with 28, trailing leader Mark Scheifele by one, and he scored vs. the Canucks in the previous meeting just last week.
He's our top probability in this game at 43.9%, and in our NHL trends, we see he's tallied at least 3.5 shots on goal in of his L11 games, highlighting good volume in our favor.
NHL goalscorer parlay odds: +1836
While each of these NHL prop picks carries standalone value, bettors looking for a longshot backed by data can play all three together at odds of +1836 on FanDuel Sportsbook.
| PLAYER | PROP | FANDUEL ODDS |
|---|---|---|
| Nikita Kucherov (Lightning) | Anytime Goalscorer | +120 |
| Logan Cooley (Mammoth) | Anytime Goalscorer | +300 |
| Kyle Connor (Jets) | Anytime Goalscorer | +120 |
