NHL Player Props and Best Bets for April 4: Key Players to Watch

As the NHL season approaches the playoffs, Saturday stands out as one of the busiest days on the calendar, with 30 of the 32 teams set to take the ice. Among the players to watch are Nick Suzuki, Jake Guentzel, and Connor McDavid, each showcasing their skills and potential to impact their teams’ fortunes.

Nick Suzuki has been a standout performer this season for the Montreal Canadiens, accumulating 94 points overall. Known for his ability to generate scoring opportunities, Suzuki averages 2.26 shots on goal per game. He has hit the Over in three of his last four games, including back-to-back outings where he registered five shots on net. Tonight, Suzuki faces the New Jersey Devils, a team that ranks 14th in the NHL in shots allowed. The Devils’ fast-paced style often leads to increased chances for their opponents, and with Suzuki centering the top line for Montreal, he is well-positioned to capitalize on this matchup.

Meanwhile, Jake Guentzel continues to solidify his role as a key contributor for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are eyeing a Stanley Cup run. This season, the 31-year-old has netted 36 goals and tallied 47 assists, consistently finding ways to impact the game. Guentzel has gone Over in four of his last six games and has provided four assists in his last three outings. In two previous meetings with the Boston Bruins, he has also recorded four assists. Playing alongside stars Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point, Guentzel excels on the power play, boasting 21 assists with the man advantage. Given Boston’s struggles, sitting 31st in penalty minutes and 26th in penalty kill percentage, Guentzel’s chances for success appear promising.

Lastly, Connor McDavid is continuing to dominate the league, currently ranking third in the NHL with 43 goals this season. After a somewhat slow start, the three-time Hart Trophy winner has found his scoring touch, finding the back of the net in five of his last six games. The Edmonton Oilers are set to clash with the rival Vegas Golden Knights, and McDavid has historically performed well against them, scoring two goals in three encounters this season. With Vegas allowing the 14th most goals per game, McDavid will be looking to extend his scoring streak.
