Our best NHL player props for Thursday, January 22
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Jason Robertson Over 3.5 shots on goal
Jason Robertson may have been snubbed from Team USA for the Olympics, but there is no question he’s a superstar for the Dallas Stars. The veteran has scored 29 goals and tallied 29 assists this season, and he’s averaging 3.70 SOG per contest.
The 26-year-old just registered nine shots on target on Tuesday's victory over the Bruins, where he scored twice. Robertson is averaging just 2.6 SOG in January, but he’s up against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight, who are allowing the second-most shots on net in the NHL.
The Stars are also on the road, and Robertson averages 3.81 SOG per night away from the American Airlines Center.

Prop #2: Lane Hutson Over 0.5 assists
Lane Hutson hasn’t missed a beat in Year 2, scoring nine goals and compiling 43 assists.
The reigning Calder Trophy winner has notched six helpers in his last three appearances, cashing the Over in each game. He tallied an assist against the Wild on Tuesday, and he also had three helpers last Saturday.
The Montreal Canadiens are at home tonight against the Buffalo Sabres. Hutson has 18 helpers at the Bell Centre, and he has two assists in two meetings with Buffalo this season.

Prop #3: Andrei Svechnikov anytime goal
The Carolina Hurricanes have lots of offensive weapons, and Andrei Svechnikov is up there with the best. The 25-year-old has netted 15 goals in 2025-26, and he’s fired home seven goals in January.
Svechnikov is riding a three-game scoring streak. He found the back of the net on Monday after bagging a hat-trick last Saturday. Carolina welcomes the Chicago Blackhawks to town tonight, and the Russian has done a lot of his damage at home.
He’s scored 12 of his 17 goals in Raleigh, and the Blackhawks aren’t exactly an elite defensive team.
