**New York, NY** – With Alex Ovechkin’s pursuit of the all-time goals record capturing national attention, NHL betting expert Neil Parker is focusing on other matchups for his top picks. Parker highlights several prop bets, including predictions for the Minnesota Wild and New York Islanders game at UBS Arena.

Parker anticipates a busy night for Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson, predicting over 26.5 saves. Gustavsson’s strong performance since March, coupled with the Islanders’ recent high shot attempt rate and the Wild’s recent defensive struggles, fuels this prediction. The Islanders, currently on a six-game losing streak, are expected to increase their offensive pressure.

Other prop bets include:

* **Lucas Raymond (Detroit Red Wings) Under 0.5 points:** Raymond’s recent scoring slump and reduced ice time with Dylan Larkin contribute to this under prediction.

* **Tony DeAngelo (New York Islanders) 3+ shots on goal:** DeAngelo’s high ice time and power-play role, combined with the Wild’s league-worst performance against opposing defensemen in terms of shots allowed, make this a valuable bet.

Parker’s analysis emphasizes statistical analysis and market trends, advising recreational bettors to bet responsibly and within their means. He notes that his predictions are not intended for use in Massachusetts and strongly encourages readers to check local laws regarding online sports betting before placing any bets.
