I’m coming off another great night with over eight units of profit as the cash cow if stack betting continues into the season's final games. It’s a four-game slate on Monday with a lot of plus-money linemate point correlation props. 

These are my three favorite NHL player props for Monday, March 31.

Best NHL player prop bets for March 31

Matvei Michkov + Travis Konecny + Sean Couturier Over 0.5 points each (+240 at bet365)

With John Tortorella gone in Philadelphia, the scoring has awoken with the Philadelphia Flyers potting 13 goals over their last two games without their former bench boss. The top line has produced seven of those goals. 

Matvei Michkov has become a new player without Torts. He has four goals and an assist and missed a hat trick on Thursday by a centimeter. 

It’s a matchup vs. the Predators who are playing for nothing and these Flyer games down the stretch could all be shootouts under new leadership behind the bench. Philadelphia has had a rough season but is playing like there is no tomorrow right now which is great for scoring. All three skaters correlate on the first line and PP1.

Don’t be afraid to hit the second line (Noah Cates/Bobby Brink/Tyson Foerster) for +800!

Frederick Gaudreau + Mats Zuccarello + Marcus Johansson Over 0.5 points each (+800 at bet365)

Jacob Markstrom has been on the fade list over the last 10 or so days. He is 3-6 SU since returning to the lineup with a 3.66 GAA and a save percentage below .855. He might have picked up back-to-back wins, but his offense also scored 10 total goals in those victories. If you’re an elitist and think the record, GAA, and SV% are not good indicators of actual performance in net, Markstrom also owns a -0.79 GSAA/60 at all strength this month — ranking 65th of 75 goalies. 

The Minnesota Wild are in a better place in terms of playoffs, but the St. Louis Blues are on their tails, and finishing seventh and avoiding the Jets is a big deal. 

Right now, this offense is using five forwards on the first power play and this second line of Freddy Gaudreau, Mats Zuccarello, and Marcus Johansson is paying a whopping +800 to all get a point which is insane for PP1 correlation. I’d pay this price for any line even on PP2. There could be some sneaky scoring in this game and I’m here for it. 

Mason Marchment + Matt Duchene + Mikael Granlund o0.5 points each (+450 at bet365)

The Dallas Stars are a wagon right now and have won five straight. Their most recent win was a 5-1 defeat of these same Kraken just two days ago where the top line had four goals and the second line of Mason Marchment, Matt Duchene, and Mikael Granlund all pointed for +425.

Now they have the rematch tonight — again in Seattle — with that second line paying an even better price than on the weekend. 

This is one of my favorite second lines with PP2 correlation. The second line in LA might be my most cherished stack, but this one is a close second. It has hit three times over the last four games for +500, +425, and +450. That’s +12.75 units alone on this line. 

If Philipp Grubauer gets the start in net for Seattle, I will be very excited.
