Top NHL Playoffs Prop Bet Odds & Picks for Tuesday, May 17 (2022)
The Second Round of the 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs is set to get underway on Tuesday with two Game 1s. There are some great betting angles to attack in the prop bets market as I give out my two best NHL player prop bets for Tuesday below.
As a reminder, I am playing all player props for a half-unit each during the playoffs, or 0.5% of your betting bankroll. Follow me on Twitter to get all of my plays on days without full write-ups.

Bet $10, Win $200 if Either Team Scores a Goal >>
Alex Killorn Over 0.5 Assists (+175)
The Tampa Bay Lightning travel to Florida for Game 1 of this Second Round series to take on the Panthers. These odds are far too long on Killorn to get just one assist as he should see an increase in ice time with the injury to Brayden Point.
Killorn has recorded an assist in four of his last six games this postseason and should have a great shot to keep It going against Florida. Over his last three games against the Panthers this season, Killorn has collected an assist in each contest.
This stat should not be too shocking as Florida’s starting goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky has been torched by Tampa Bay this season. Over his two appearances against the Lightning this year, Bobrovsky possesses a troubling 0.850 save percentage and 4.03 goals allowed average.
Brayden Schenn Over 0.5 Points (+100)
The St. Louis Blues travel to Colorado for Game 1 of this Second Round series to take on the Avalanche. Schenn ended the first round in great form as he collected a point in both Game 5 and 6 to close out their series against the Minnesota Wild.
Going against Colorado, Schenn should be able to keep it going. In his two games against Colorado during the regular season, Schenn scored in each contest.
Darcy Kuemper is the projected starting goaltender for the Avalanche and has struggled against St. Louis this year. Over his three appearances against the Blues, Kuemper possesses a mere 0.870 save percentage and 3.40 goals allowed average.
Best of luck!
