The NHL returns after an All-Star break, and on Monday, February 5, we have an interesting inter-conference clash, so make sure to take a look at the Avalanche vs Rangers Player Prop Bets. The Colorado Avalanche are searching for the fourth consecutive win, while the New York Rangers look for the third home victory in four games.
Avalanche vs Rangers Player Prop Bets – Cale Makar Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-145)
One of the most versatile and best defenders in the NHL, Cale Makar, is having a great season for the Avalanche thus far. He is the team’s third-best point-maker with 58, and the second-best assist producer with 46.
Makar also gets the most minutes on ice with 24:55 per game, so it’s not strange he is the team’s third player when it comes to shots on goal. Cale attempts 3.11 SOG per contest, and in four of the previous seven games, he had 3+ shots.
In the last game prior to the All-Star break, Makar tied his career-high with even nine shots. He registered at least a point in six straight outings, so I expect him to be very active offensively against the Rangers. In six career games against the Rangers, Makar attempted 19 shots on goal.
Alexis Lafreniere Over 2.5 Shots (+120)
Alexis Lafreniere opened 2024 with seven consecutive games in which he had 3+ shots on goal. After a five-game sting during which he failed to have more than two shots, Lafreniere returned with three attempts in each of the last two games.
He is not even in the top 5 when it comes to point producers on the Rangers, but Lafreniere is the third in shots on goal with 2.57 per contest. Colorado will focus its defense on the likes of Panarin, Trocheck, Zibanejad, and Kreider, and I am sure Lafreniere will get some open shots throughout the game.
Alexis did register a goal and an assist in his previous outing, which was the first time in ten games he had a multi-point display. That performance will drive him to stay offensively aggressive against the Avs on Monday.
Considering the lower odds on Makar, I suggest you use these Avalanche vs Rangers Player Prop Bets as a part of a parlay.
