NHL Player Prop Bet Odds, Picks & Projections: Tuesday (4/30)
With three NHL playoff elimination games on the slate, we’re turning to Gustav Nyquist to help keep his team alive.
We will provide our Best NHL Player Props from the NHL slate each day of the playoffs. We'll also post our favorite bets in the BettingPros Discord, which is free to join and filled with info from some of the sharpest analysts in the field. Additionally, we have a BettingPros NHL Prop Bet group where you can make bets without having to wager money but can still compete with other bettors.
Let's take a look at today's best plays.
Best NHL Plus Money Player Prop Bets
POTD: Gustav Nyquist 2+ Points (+310 FanDuel)
Nashville heads back across the border in a win-or-go-home Game 5 against Vancouver. The good news for the Predators is that Arturs Silovs is in net for the Canucks. Silovs has incredibly stark career home/road splits, and it does not favor home ice. He has a career save percentage of .930 away from Vancouver but an ugly .891 SV% at home. He allows a full 1.5 goals more there, too. Nyquist racked up 75 points in the regular season and skates alongside Filip Forsberg at all times. In a do-or-die scenario, I like the Swede to pick up two points against the opposing third-string goalie.
Plus-Money Paired-Point Parlay: Brad Marchand & Tyler Bertuzzi (+180 DraftKings)
No team has worse body language right now than the Maple Leafs, and I don’t see them staying alive in Boston. That said, Bertuzzi has been a bright spot in the series, scoring a point in each of the last three games. On the flip side, Marchand has dominated Toronto in the series, scoring eight points in the first four games. At +180, I’m willing to bet these two continue being hot.
If you have any questions or see a late injury or line change, don’t hesitate to message me @thewonkypenguin on Twitter, and I’ll make sure to update the post/projections accordingly. NHL Player Props is often an overlooked market, but it can be extremely profitable on a daily basis. Good luck!
