NHL Player Props: Gabriel Landeskog Leads Today’s Best Bets

With six games lighting up the ice on March 2, the stage is set for some exciting matchups and player performances. At the forefront of today’s NHL player props is Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, who is expected to play a pivotal role alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas.

Among the intriguing bets, Columbus Blue Jackets center Adam Fantilli stands out. Despite managing only 10 shots in his last 26 games, his 26 attempts indicate a potential for improvement. With a conversion rate that has dipped to 38.5%, far below his earlier 47.7% this season, Fantilli faces a favorable matchup against the New York Rangers, who have struggled defensively, ranking below average in shots allowed and Corsi For percentage at 5-on-5. As one of the primary shooters on Columbus’ top power-play unit, he could be poised for a breakout.

Meanwhile, Landeskog is enjoying a prime opportunity, having skated for 265:15 this season alongside MacKinnon. The duo has been explosive, generating an impressive 6.79 goals per 60 minutes. Their strong performance is complemented by a 58.0 Corsi For percentage and a 56.6 expected goals percentage at even strength, making Landeskog a solid bet for today’s action.

Additionally, Detroit Red Wings forward Marco Kasper is slated to join the top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond. With Raymond leading the team in points and Larkin not far behind in third, this presents a significant opportunity for the promising 2022 eighth-overall pick. Kasper has been heating up lately with seven points and 29 shots in his last 12 games, and facing a Nashville Predators team that has allowed the fifth-most goals per game could lead to even more scoring chances.
