Best NHL Prop Bets and Anytime Goal Scorer Picks Today (Target Shayne Gostisbehere, Morgan Geekie, Brent Burns)

With a 10-game NHL slate, top prop targets are Gostisbehere for an assist, Morgan Geekie anytime scorer, and Brent Burns over 1.5 SOG. Punters might back assist and shot props in matchups where Carolina is heavily favored and Burns’ shot volume is rising — consider small stakes on Gostisbehere and Burns, and a value play on Geekie’s anytime goal.

NHL 10-Game Slate: Best Player Props for Tuesday, Dec. 9

A full 10-game NHL slate gives bettors plenty of prop options tonight. I’m focusing on three player props with clear matchup advantages and recent form: Shayne Gostisbehere for an assist, Morgan Geekie as an anytime goalscorer, and Brent Burns to register multiple shots on goal.

Top Prop Picks

Shayne Gostisbehere — OVER 0.5 Assists (+100) vs. Blue Jackets

Gostisbehere has been a primary playmaker lately, recording assists in three straight games and five of his last six. He’s up to 18 assists in 19 games this season and has an especially strong home split, picking up points in 10 of 12 home contests. Playing on the second pair at 5-on-5 and running the top power play, he’s heavily involved in chances. With Carolina a large home favorite, expect them to create looks — backing Gostisbehere for at least one assist is sensible at even money.

Morgan Geekie — Anytime Goalscorer (+155) at Blues

Geekie has emerged as a consistent finisher, compiling 32 points (22 goals, 10 assists) in 30 games and filling in while David Pastrnak is out. He’s scored in two straight games and four of his last five, with goals in seven of his last nine contests. He’s found the net in 18 of 30 games this season. In a matchup against the Blues where Boston can exploit scoring chances, Geekie’s scoring streak and volume make the anytime-goal play a legitimate value target.

Brent Burns — OVER 1.5 Shots on Goal (-160) at Predators

Burns has been launching pucks consistently, totaling 63 shots on goal through 29 games and posting multiple SOG in each of his last seven appearances. He’s logged three SOG in back-to-back games and has done so in five of his last six. Getting over 19 minutes a night and pushing shot attempts, Burns is a reliable source of SOG—paying a bit of juice for over 1.5 SOG is defensible. For those wanting a bigger payout, consider a small sprinkle on Over 2.5 SOG where available.

Betting Strategy and Market Notes

Odds can shift quickly, so check prices close to puck drop. These plays favor recent form and matchup context: assist and shot-volume props for Carolina skaters, and goal-scoring upside for Boston’s secondary scorers. Consider conservative stakes on the favorites (assist and SOG props) and slightly larger unit sizing on Geekie’s anytime goal if the price holds.
