Oilers' Star Draisaitl Aims to Shine in NHL Playoffs

A breakdown of key players to target for goal scorer prop bets in the ongoing Stanley Cup Playoffs, focusing on Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl and other top contenders.

Two first-round series continue and two others begin when the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs resume with a four-game slate Monday. The Presidents’ Trophy-winning Winnipeg Jets and Colorado Avalanche attempt to take 2-0 leads when they face the St. Louis Blues and Dallas Stars, respectively. The top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Washington Capitals, host the Montreal Canadiens in the opener of their seven-game set while the Edmonton Oilers begin their quest to return to the Final for the second straight postseason when they visit the Los Angeles Kings.

Washington aims to record its first playoff series win since defeating the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2018 Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers will have key players back in their lineup, including high-scoring forward Leon Draisaitl. Here are some players with value to consider when making prop bets for anytime goal scorer Monday:

Best Bets:

  • Leon Draisaitl, Oilers (+155, FanDuel)
    Draisaitl scored 17 goals in 21 games prior to his injury, dominating the Kings in previous postseason matchups.
  • Nick Suzuki, Canadiens (+230, BetMGM)
    Suzuki is key for Montreal’s scoring chances against the Capitals.
