Kaprizov & Draisaitl Headline Best NHL Player Props Today (Feb. 4)
The headline act for my top NHL player props today scored 17 points in the last nine games, the second-most behind Nikita Kucherov's 21.
It's none other than Kirill Kaprizov, whose performances I've profited from several times since his scorching-hot streak started. Not to be glossed over are Leon Draisaitl, Connor Bedard, and Mikko Rantanen, all of whom I have in my crosshairs for Wednesday night's slate.

💰 Best NHL player prop bet today: Kirill Kaprizov Over 1.5 points (+146)
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
This is the version of Kaprizov I expected immediately after he signed his exorbitant new deal. While it's taken a little while, Kapriov is dominating, scoring at least two points in seven of the previous nine games.
And he has multi-point contests in seven of the last 10 against the Nashville Predators, specifically.
That should scare a Predators team that allowed five goals against lowly St. Louis on Tuesday. Kaprizov will be salivating at the prospect of playing a tired team that is one of the worst defensively.

Leon Draisaitl to score against the Flames again (+125)
Draisaitl scores regularly against most teams, but his special set of skills is even more prominent against the Flames, having scored seven in the previous five games against his Alberta rivals.
He scored two goals in the last three games, failing to light the lamp Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was, however, robbed late in the third period by Anthony Stolarz on what appeared to be a surefire goal. Of the best sports betting sites, BetMGM offers the most value.
🚨 More goal scorer picks for Wednesday
Our Liam Fox is backing three of the league's hottest forwards in his NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today.
Mikko Rantanen to score, making St. Louis sing the blues (+160)
Rantanen scored on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets. While that's a promising start, I'm more compelled by his recent goal-scoring record against the St. Louis Blues. He has 10 goals in the previous 10 meetings against the Blues, a run that includes two hat tricks.
He only has one goal in three games against them as a member of the Stars, which I expect to change tonight. Having won five in a row, the Stars are soaring. The Blues, meanwhile, allowed at least four goals in five straight.
Connor Bedard to score in fourth straight game (+175)
Bedard hasn't looked this good since before sustaining an injury that kept him out of the lineup for 11 games. The prodigy has a goal in three straight entering tonight's contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets. One of those three came against the Blue Jackets on Jan. 30.
He netted three times against the Blue Jackets in five appearances, and the +175 odds at DraftKings sweeten the deal.
