Tuesday's Best NHL PrizePicks Player Projections

Mitch Marner Less Than 0.5 Assists
The Maple Leafs picked up a win in Boston, and we thought they would carry that momentum home; we were wrong. Toronto's long history of playoff woes continues as they dropped both games at home and now are on the brink of elimination. One of the top offenses in the regular season is non-existent, and although they have a 54.26% expected goal share, the Boston defense has shut them down. Marner contributed to the last two games after being blanked in the first two. As the Bruins head home, we should see that dominance again, and Garner will be removed from the stat sheet.
Jake Guentzel More Than 0.5 Assists
The Islanders again gave up a lead that not only almost cost them the game but the series. Luckily, they kept their season going with an overtime win. The Canes would love to finish this series tonight and get ready for the conference semi-finals. Guentzel was their big pickup during the trade deadline, and although it took some time for him to return from injury, it paid off. He has an assist in three straight, and you shouldn't be shocked if he comes through again.
Artturi Lehkonen More Than 3.5 Shots On Goal
The Jets have had no answer for the Avalanche offense. They've scored 22 goals in four games and have a 64.14% expected goal share. All the stars are contributing, including Artturi Lehkonen, who's tied for second with seven points and multiple points in three of four games. The prop that looks the best is his shots on goal; the Jets defense, which was one of the best in the regular season, is non-existent, and they've allowed the second-most high-danger shots in the playoffs.
Brock Boeser More Than 0.5 Points
Although the Canucks could end the series tonight, the games have been exciting. Two games have been determined by one goal, and Vancouver has just a +1 scoring differential. The Canucks haven't overloaded the Predators on offense and are averaging just 17.7 shots on goal per game, but are leading the playoffs with a 15.4% shooting percentage on shots on goal. Boeser opened up the floodgate in Game 4 with a hat trick and now has four goals in the last two games. His just grabbing a point is a great bet.
