Our best NHL player props for Sunday, April 19<\/p>\n

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

Prop #1: Nathan MacKinnon to score<\/p>\n

-125 at BET99<\/p>\n

The Colorado Avalanche<\/a> star sniper blistered the league for 53 goals, the second time in three years he\u2019s gone for 50+.\u00a0
\u00a0
Now Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> draws the Kings<\/a>, a team he\u2019s lit up for 10 goals and 27 points in the last 15 games.\u00a0
\u00a0
He\u2019s also tallied in three straight Game 1\u2019s in the postseason.<\/p>\n

Prop #2: Cole Caufield Over 0.5 assists<\/p>\n

+140 at BET99<\/p>\n

I\u2019m taking Cole Caufield<\/a> to pick up a helper here as it\u2019s got just a little bit more juice than lighting the lamp.\u00a0
\u00a0
The NHL\u2019s no. 2 goal scorer behind MacKinnon this season has been doing damage at Tampa Bay, picking up points in four of his last five games there, with two goals and three assists.<\/p>\n

Where to watch: TNT, truTV<\/p>\n

+170 at BET99<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s wrap up with Boston<\/a>\u2019s top scorer, who has absolutely feasted on the Sabres, picking up points in 15 of his last 16 games.
\u00a0
This might be just the matchup David Pastrnak<\/a> needs. He hasn\u2019t scored a goal in 10 straight, but he\u2019s tallied in three straight games against Buffalo, and I\u2019m banking on him making it four.<\/p>\n
