Game three of the NHL playoffs is upon us, check out what NHL player props we have in store for tonight’s action, and all at plus money.
Carolina Hurricanes vs. Boston Bruins
Friday, May 06, 2022 – 07:00 PM EDT at TD Garden
David Pastrnak (Boston Bruins)
The Bruins will be looking for a big reaction on home ice having lost 2-0 on the road, allowing 10 goals, and scoring just 3 despite having outshot the Hurricanes by 16 shots.
Pastrnak has failed to get on the board for the Bruins thus far this series but with the Bruins returning to home ice tonight, we are very pleased to be getting the Bruins' regular season top goalscorer at such big NHL odds.

He managed a whopping 13 shots in the first two games of the series and failed to score, we feel a Pastrnak goal is coming sooner rather than later.
Pastrnak has scored in 9 of his previous 15 home games and scored 13 goals in the same period.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs.Tampa Bay Lightning
Friday, May 06, 2022 - 07:30 PM EDT at Amalie Arena
Austin Matthews (Toronto Maple Leafs)
The Maples Leafs Austin Matthews is a goalscoring machine as he finished the regular season as the top goalscorer with 60 goals.
We are targeting him to pick up another assist tonight at some beautiful betting odds of +130, this seems a little high considering he has had an assist in both playoff games so far picking up 2 and 1 for a total of three, the tied most on the roster along with Mitch Marner.

Matthews is a great bet to get on the scoreboard again tonight but at +100 we don’t like the value as much as his assist line.
Another high-scoring game is most likely in order here, with Matthews to pick up a goal and assist.

Minnesota Wild vs. St. Louis Blues
Friday, May 06, 2022 - 09:30 PM EDT at Enterprise Center
Robert Thomas (St. Louis Blues)
The Wild tied the series last time out after being shut out in game one, but now they face the prospect of having to play two games on the road in St Louis.
This has not been a good stomping ground for the Wild, losing their previous 8 games in a row to the Blues by an overall scoreline of 41 goals to 14.

We think the Blues at -120 could be a nice play here and we expect goals to be scored in this one with both teams having averaged just over 6 goals per game, for this reason, we are very pleased to get Robert Thomas to pick up an assist at plus money.
The Blues forward picked up 57 assists in 72 games in the regular season and managed to assist both of the Blues' only goals last time out.
NHL Pick: Thomas Over 0.5 Assists (+110) with BetOnline
Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings
Friday, May 6, 2022 – 10:00 PM EDT at Crypto.com Arena
Kailer Yamamoto (Edmonton Oilers)
The Oilers bounced back with a shutout win in the second game of the series, winning 6-0. Now the two teams come into L.A with the series tied at 1-1.
There are a lot of players in this game for which you could make a case whether it be goals or assists, but we feel one of the best value betting picks in tonight’s game is Kailer Yamamoto to pick up over 0.5 points.
The 23-year-old has had a solid season so far with 20 goals and 21 assists in the regular season and so far in the opening two games of the playoffs, Yamamoto has picked up two points in the opening game.
The oilers can be hot and cold when on the road and their previous five trips to the Crypto.Com Arena have seen them produce 0/1/4/5/3 goals.
NHL Pick: Yamamoto Over 0.5 Points (+100) with Everygame (visit our Everygame Review)
