November is officially underway, and that means the start of the holiday shopping season is upon us. The end of the year is fast approaching, meaning that you're either hoping to put a bow on a solid 2023 or make up for lost time from the first 10 months of the year. We believe a good way to do that is by betting the NHL because just like us, these players are making moves, too.

The Thanksgiving holiday is just a few weeks away, and every year there is that crazy stat that gets thrown out there: Around 75 percent of NHL teams in playoff position at Thanksgiving will go on to compete for the Stanley Cup in the spring. That means the playoffs are essentially already here with no time to waste. With so much on the line, our sights are set on SuperDraft as we try to kick off this month in style with some winners for tonight's nationally televised games. 

SuperDraft users can win 3X the amount wagered if their two-legged player prop parlay hits. If all four of the props below hit, users will win 10x their entry. In other words, a $20 entry fee will yield a $200 payout. the more legs you add to your player prop parlay, the larger your potential payout becomes, but as the long odds indicate, completing a clean sweep is challenging. 

Below, we'll break down four of our favorite player props for Wednesday night's NHL slate. Users don't necessarily have to parlay all four picks together, though. Instead, you could make separate two-legged parlays to increase your win probability or attempt to hit it big if all four picks come through.

Best NHL prop bets today: SuperDraft player prop picks for Wednesday

*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks

1. Jeff Skinner, LW, Sabres @ Flyers — OVER 3 shots on goal

"You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take" appears to be Skinner's logic this season because shooting is all he's done since the puck dropped. The winger has registered at least three shots on goal in his past seven games -- four or more in six of them -- after a tough open to the campaign. Skinner has been one of Buffalo's hottest skaters in the early going, and we like him to continue rolling on Wednesday night.

2. Owen Tippett, RW, Flyers vs. Sabres — OVER 0.5 points

With six points in nine games, Tippett keeps on shooting. That's great for us since points can come from goals or assists. He has points in four straight and is averaging five shots on goal per game this season. As long as he keeps firing, the goals will follow. The Flyers have been a bit of a positive surprise in 2023 thus far, while the same can be said for the Sabres except in a negative light. Tippett was even bumped up to the top player play unit, giving us even more chances to cash in.

3. Arturri Lehkonen, LW, Avalanche vs. Blues — UNDER 2.5 shots on goal

Lehkonen came firing out of the gates, registering at least three SOG in each of the first four games. But that volume has ticked down as the season has gone on, only hitting three SOG once in the last four, even posting a zero in his most recent effort. We'll back the trend and keep trusting Lehkonen to be the setup guy for fellow top linemates, Nathan MacKinnon, and Mikko Rantanen.

4. Jordan Kyrou, C, Blues @ Avalanche — OVER 3 shots on goal

In five of the Blues' seven games this season, Kyrou has finished with at least three SOG. After hitting that number in three straight, it only makes sense to back the threes and look to the over. He's been playing on the top line and also featured on the power play unit, giving us confidence that will be the case once again in Colorado, where offense is always on the menu. We'd feel more comfortable with the line at 2.5, but we'll take the plunge anyway.
