NHL Prop Picks for November 26 – Yurika.R

Vancouver Canucks vs. Boston Bruins – Prop Bets (7:00 PM, EST)

Boston Bruins Team Total Under 3 (-120) at BetMGM Sportsbook

The Vancouver Canucks offense have also struggled to generate high quality Shots on Goal as their front line ranks near dead last in Expected Goals For in All Situations. Fortunately for Vancouver, their defense has managed to keep them competitive as their back line ranks third overall in Expected Goals Against in All Situations with an average of 2.68 Expected Goals Against per game.

Against Boston, the Canucks defense will have the opportunity to continue to play at a high level as they face off against a Bruins offense who ranks 20th overall in Expected Goals For in All Situations and 30th in 5-on-5 Play. Other than Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, no one on the Bruins averages more than 0.30 Expected Goals per game. With a lack of versatility, expect the Bruins to struggle to stretch out the Canucks coverage while firing the puck into low quality shooting lanes.

Quinn Hughes Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-150) at BetMGM Sportsbook

While the Canucks Quinn Hughes has struggled to generate high quality shots towards the net, that has not stopped him in his efforts of creating pressure from the blue line as the defenseman is averaging 3.47 Shots on Goal per game. Against a Bruins defense who excels in coverage, Hughes will need to continue to send the puck from deep in an attempt to scramble their coverage. When scrambled, Hughes may have the opportunity to exploit the gaps in front of their net and clock in a Shot on Goal.

Utah Hockey Club vs. Montreal Canadiens – Prop Bets (7:00 PM, EST)

Cole Caufield Anytime Goalscorer (+160) at Caesars Sportsbook

With the Utah’s back line continuing to regress, the Montreal Canadiens offense will have the opportunity to play at a competitive level as they currently average just 2.81 Expected Goals per game. That bodes well for Montreal’s Cole Caufield as he is the Canadiens lone source of offensive production, entering the contest leading the team in both Expected Goals and Shots on Goal per game.

With Caufield poised to receive an uptick in shot attempts, his chances of scoring a goal also increases. Especially when matched up against a Utah defense who ranks 23rd overall in Expected Goals Against in All Situations while their starting goalie continues to struggle with walling off low quality Shots on Goal. Heading into Tuesday, Connor Ingram is averaging an astonishing 3.61 Goals Against per game while generating a lowly Save Percentage of .871.

Lane Hutson Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (-125) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Calder Memorial Trophy contender Lane Hutson has underwhelmed in his efforts of generating Shots on Goal this season as he has settled into more of a facilitating role from the Canadiens back line. As of writing, Hutson is averaging just 0.07 Expected Goals and 0.95 Shots on Goal per game. Even with Utah’s back line struggling to cover their net, expect Hutson to stay under this total as he uses his positioning to set up gap exploiting passes instead of Shots on Goal.
