Our best NHL player props for Tuesday, April 7<\/p>\n

Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.<\/p>\n

Prop #1: Cole Caufield anytime goal<\/p>\n

+115 at BET99<\/p>\n

Cole Caufield<\/a> is sitting just one goal shy of 50 on the season, and he\u2019s already set a career-high. The Montreal Canadiens star has found the back of the net in four of his last six contests, and he scored twice last Thursday against the Rangers.<\/p>\n

The Habs take on the Panthers tonight, who are already out of playoff contention and have decided to sit a lot of their main guys for the remainder of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Caufield has already scored once against them across two meetings this season, and he\u2019s netted four times in his last four home outings.<\/p>\n

Where to watch: SCRIPPS, RDS<\/p>\n

Prop #2: Nikita Kucherov anytime goal<\/p>\n

+115 at BET99<\/p>\n

Nikita Kucherov<\/a> ranks third in the NHL in goals, scoring 43 times in 2025-26. He\u2019s an electric player for the Lightning, one of the top Stanley Cup contenders.<\/p>\n

The Russian has scored in three straight games against the Sabres, Bruins, and Penguins, and none of those teams are a pushover.<\/p>\n

Kucherov has done a lot of his damage on the road, scoring 28 times in just 36 contests. The Bolts visit the Senators this evening, and he\u2019s already netted twice against them this season in one matchup.\u00a0The Sens are also 19th in goals allowed, giving up 3.08 per contest.<\/p>\n

Tampa\u2019s best player will keep it rolling here.<\/p>\n

Where to watch: The Spot, RDS2<\/p>\n

Prop #3: Taylor Hall Over 0.5 assists<\/p>\n

+105 at BET99<\/p>\n

Taylor Hall<\/a> has carved out a nice role for himself as an experienced veteran on the Hurricanes. He\u2019s scored 16 goals and tallied 28 assists this season for a total of 44 points in 77 contests.<\/p>\n

Hall has cashed the Over in points in three straight, most recently scoring on Sunday against Ottawa.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old is up against one of his former teams in the Bruins tonight, and he\u2019s already collected two points in two meetings with them.<\/p>\n

Hall is much more productive at home, notching 29 points in 40 games. That\u2019s compared to only 15 points in 37 contests on the road.<\/p>\n

Where to watch: NESN, FDSN SO<\/p>\n
