In this article, Canada Sports Betting’s Nick Martin breaks down the two best NHL player prop picks that provide value at online sportsbooks today (3/31/26).
These player prop guides enter Tuesday’s slate up +12.17 units across 157 selections this season, after we recorded a slight loss with a split on Monday. We’ve got a pair on unique angles on Tuesday that I’m excited to outline below.
Check out today’s best NHL player prop bets below and tail my picks at any of the top NHL betting sites in Canada.
Alex DeBrincat/Moritz Seider 1+ Point Each: +120
DeBrincat/Seider points parlay
It’s rare to target a point stack targeting a defender and a forward, as usually we are looking for instances where oddsmakers seem to be undervaluing the correlation of two forwards who play the entire game together each recording a point. DeBrincat and Seider have been the Detroit Red Wings’ two most productive skaters of late, however, and with Seider receiving a more offensive role at even strength, the two have been more commonly on the ice together.
Since the addition of Justin Faulk, head coach Todd McLellan has leaned on the top pairing of Seider and Simon Edvinsson less commonly to handle shutdown minutes and defensive zone starts, which has increased the number of situations in which they are on the ice attacking with DeBrincat’s unit.
Seider and DeBrincat also correlate well on the power play, as a number of the more common sequences involve Seider rotating it down to DeBrincat on the left side. Over the last 10 games, DeBrincat and Seider have combined for 27 points, and have recorded a point in the same game eight times. Out of the 12 points Seider has recorded in that span, DeBrincat has factored in on the same goal six times.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been playing some notably high-event hockey and provide a strong matchup to ride with DeBrincat and Seider to remain productive. Over the last 18 games, the Penguins have allowed 3.61 goals against per game and 3.81 xGA/60. They will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back Tuesday, after earning a massive win over the New York Islanders Monday.
Daniel Vladar Under 2.5 Goals Allowed: +105
Vladar under 2.5 goals allowed
The Philadelphia Flyers have played to a record of 12-3-1 over the last 16 games and now have a realistic shot at claiming a playoff spot. The team has bought into winning low-event, tight-checking games and has allowed a league-best 2.33 xGA/60 at even strength in that span, as well as just 2.24 goals against per game where it counts.
Across his last 15 starts, Vladar has played to a .912 save percentage and 2.35 GAA. He holds a +12.8 GSAx rating across 45 games this season, but during the Flyers’ furious push for a playoff spot, he’s been handling a softer workload on average.
It seems logical to expect Tuesday’s critical matchup versus the Washington Capitals to be a well-structured, playoff-type game, where the ice is shrunk and high-danger scoring chances are at a premium. Though the Capitals closed out their recent road trip with offensive outbursts in Utah and Vegas, they have still averaged just 2.80 goals per game since the Olympic break and have generally looked fairly flat offensively.
Considering the Flyers’ recent defensive play, Vladar’s form in goal and the type of matchup we will likely see Tuesday, a price of +105 for Vladar to allow less than three goals looks to provide value.
