Draisaitl is scoring at a .74 goals-per-game clip and is on pace to score 61. With 29 goals, he is five ahead of second-place . He's enjoying an MVP-caliber season and is among the Hart Trophy odds favorites entering the second half of the season.

Draisaitl enters Tuesday's contest against the Boston Bruins on a four-game goal-scoring streak. He had two previous streaks of the same length earlier in the season but hasn't scored in five straight. He didn't score the last time his Oilers met the Bruins but netted twice in the previous head-to-head.

It can't hurt that he's facing the league's fourth-most penalized team with the eighth-worst penalty kill. bet365 offers the best price on Draisaitl's goal-scoring prop, and a winning $10 bet will profit $14.

Gabriel Vilardi to score

Best odds: +220 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 31.25%

I'm not backing Vilardi solely because his last name rolls off the tongue.

Maybe, just maybe, if we repeat his name 10 times without respite, it will manifest in Vilardi scoring against the Nashville Predators. Vilardi has 18 goals, the team's third most behind Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele.

And with four goals in his last five games, he's the Jet on the most rocket-like ascent. In addition, Vilardi scored two goals against the Predators the last time these teams met and has lit the lamp against them three times in the previous three contests. The price on this prop ranges from +180 to +220 at our best sportsbooks, with the former offered by Caesars.

A winning $10 bet will profit $22.

Auston Matthews to score

Best odds: +110 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 47.62%

The Maple Leafs' sniper has endured a rough season thus far, plagued by an upper-body injury that won't go away, similar to the discourse in Toronto about the team's 58-year Cup drought.

He has just 12 goals in 26 games, the worst goals-per-game clip in his career. However, he has two in his last three games and netted five goals in the previous five against the Philadelphia Flyers, including a hat trick in February last year. FanDuel offers the best price, and a winning $10 bet yields an $11 profit.

Tuesday's best NHL player prop pick

Jack Eichel Over 1.5 points

Best odds: +135 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 42.55%

Bet $5, Get $200 + $1K Deposit Bonus

Terms and conditions apply.

Eichel has 18 multi-point games thus far and has a great white shark-size chance of making it 19 when his Vegas Golden Knights march into San Jose. The Sharks have allowed the fourth-most goals per game (3.45) and the most expected goals (99.55).

The Golden Knights' leading scorer has four points in the last two games and has amassed 42 points in 27 Vegas victories. While it's not a given that Vegas will triumph, it is the hottest team in the league, facing a seemingly perennial bottom dweller.

Eichel notched two points the last time he faced the Sharks, and I'm banking on a repeat performance.
