We're down to the penultimate day of the season as I provide my NHL player props, which feature a pair of Vegas Golden Knights.
Jack Eichel and Mark Stone will be steely focused on the task at hand, wrapping up the Pacific Division. Macklin Celebrini, meanwhile, should have a favorable matchup against the porous Chicago Blackhawks.

💰 Best NHL player prop bet today
Jack Eichel Over 1.5 points (+132) vs. Kraken
Eichel and the Golden Knights have unfinished business to attend to, and the Seattle Kraken won't get in their way. With a point, the Golden Knights will clinch the Pacific Division crown.
Eichel was instrumental in defeating the Winnipeg Jets last time out, exploding for four points (1 goal, 3 assists). While I don't expect another four-point outing, I'm confident he'll register two or more.
The Kraken have allowed the fourth-most goals per game (4) over the last 14 contests, which should help Eichel secure his 27th multi-point outing of the campaign.
🔥 More NHL player prop picks
Mark Stone anytime goal (+199) vs. Kraken
Vegas' captain has played like it recently, netting five times in the previous five encounters. He scored two against the Kraken in Seattle last week, where he also had the most expected goals (1.07).
He followed it up with another gem in Colorado, scoring a superb power-play goal, again leading the team in expected goals (0.84). A three-point performance at home against Winnipeg made this pick a no-brainer, with Stone scoring for the third straight contest.
Add in the element of a division title on the line, and I'm all in on backing Stone's stones.
🚨 More NHL goal scorers
I break down tonight's clash of giants and highlight another goal scorer in my Stars vs. Sabres prediction
Macklin Celebrini anytime goal (+125) at Blackhawks
Celebrini finishing strong would be fitting based on the extraordinary season he's had.
While he fell short of getting the San Jose Sharks into the playoffs and most likely won't win MVP despite being among the Hart Trophy odds front-runners all season, Celebrini has been spectacular.
He scored two goals against Nashville in the previous game and netted the last time he played in Chicago. He's also facing a Blackhawks team that has allowed the fourth-most goals per game (4) since March 15.

💡 How I'm betting NHL player props today
Follow all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
Predictions are more challenging to make in most scenarios at this time of the season. Many teams will opt to rest players, if possible, at the start of the playoffs, while others will already be checked out, ready for their first spring tee time.
That's why I focused on the Golden Knights and their scoring leaders, who will want to get their team in a better spot for their hopeful playoff run.
I backed Celebrini because, well, he never takes a night off regardless of the situation.
