Best NHL prop bets for Tuesday 1/27/26

Macklin Celebrini 2+ points (+105)

The Sharks have to feel energized heading into tonight’s matchup against a floundering Canucks squad. Vancouver hit the reset button with the Quinn Hughes trade back in December and has now fully embraced tank mode, going 1-10-2 this month with nine of those regulation losses coming over its last 10 games. Over the month of January, the Canucks have also given up 4.15 goals per game, setting the stage for San Jose to light the lamp a handful of times tonight.

When the Sharks do post a big outing in the scoring column, it nearly always comes thanks to young superstar Macklin Celebrini, who’s tied for fourth in the NHL with 74 points on the campaign. He’s an incredible talent who makes teammates better and can put the puck in the net himself, fully evidenced by his 26 goals and 48 assists so far. However, he does it tonight, Celebrini is positioned nicely to put up at least two points in a very positive matchup. The Canucks’ goaltender isn’t yet set in stone, but it looks like it could be Kevin Lankinen. If so, the Sharks may view his 3.44 GAA and .884 SV% as blood in the water.

Cole Caufield anytime goalscorer (+150)

One of the hottest players across the league right now, Cole Caufield enters a matchup with the Golden Knights on an absolute heater. The Canadiens’ star finds himself on a five-game point streak which has seen him rack up 10 points over that span, seeing the net particularly well at the moment at that. He’s scored a whopping eight goals in this sample, including a hat trick three days ago against the Bruins. After notching at least one goal in each of those five games (which came against Boston, Minnesota, Ottawa, and two matchups with Buffalo), Caufield’s tally is now up to 29 on the campaign. Not only that, but his shooting percentage sits at a career-best 18.7% as well.

Vegas does pose a pretty significant threat, so it’s not like Montreal gets an easy matchup tonight. However, the Golden Knights aren’t as strong on defense as in seasons past. After this team allowed seven goals to the Senators in their last game and a combined seven goals across the two prior contests too, there’s a reason the total sits at 6.5 tonight. If netminder Adin Hill (3.53 GAA, .856 SV%), Caufield may not have much trouble putting the puck in the net.
