Toronto Maple Leafs vs Tampa Bay Lightning

Morgan Reilly O 0.5 Points -120 (DraftKings)

Our first prop bet of the day will come from the Toronto Maple Leafs-Tampa Bay Lightning game. The Maple Leafs lost Game One of this series 7-3 but won Games Two and Three by scores of 7-2 and 4-3. Game Four should be close like Game Three, so I recommend watching it. This prop will involve the Maple Leafs’ Morgan Reilly. Reilly, a defenseman, is regarded as a solid passer and had 37 assists in the season. He did not have an assist in Game Three (although he did have a goal) but had four assists in Game Two. I would not bet on Reilly to have an assist today (that is a little risky), but I would bet him to have a point. Bet on the over.

Reilly is a talented defenseman and one that the Maple Leafs believe in. This is best illustrated by the eight-year, $60M extension he signed with Toronto last year. Not only does he make life difficult for opposing centers and wingers, but he also makes the right pass and can give you an occasional goal. He is coming off two strong games and will continue playing well tonight. The 29-year-old will likely see 20-22 minutes of ice time, so he will have plenty of opportunities to get a point one way or the other. Bet on the over.

New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils

Chris Kreider O 2.5 Shots on Goal -115 (BetMGMl)

Our second prop bet of the day will come from the most exciting game of the day. The New York Rangers won the first two games of this series 5-1 each time, but the Devils fought back in Game Three and had a gritty 2-1 overtime win. With that win, the Devils are right back in the series and can get the upper hand if they win today. We will look at the Rangers’ Chris Kreider for this prop. Kreider has been on a tear in this series and has five goals in three games. He will have at least three shots today. Bet on the over.

Kreider scored the only Rangers’ goal in Game Three. That was actually his only shot of the game. I would not be too concerned about him having another one-shot game. That seems highly unlikely, as Kreider put up five shots in Game Two and three shots in Game One. Kreider also averaged nearly 2.9 shots per game during the season. He is not a prolific shooter, but he is also not afraid to shoot. Kreider will put up three or more shots in this game. Bet on the over.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Winnipeg Jets

Adam Lowry O 0.5 Points +105 (BetMGM)

Our third prop bet of the day will take us to Winnipeg, Manitoba. This has been an interesting series so far. The Jets crushed the Golden Knights in Game One 5-1, but the Golden Knights won Game Two 5-2 and Game Three 5-4. Adam Lowry will be the subject of this prop. Lowry had a quieter season and finished with 36 points (13 goals, 23 assists) in 82 games. However, something has changed for the center in the Playoffs. The 30-year-old has hit his stride in this series and has four points in three games. Lowry will get another point today. Bet on the over.

Lowry has scored four goals in this series. This is surprising, given that he only scored 13 in the regular season. It is one thing to have four points, but if they are all goals, it is an impressive feat. It is also worth noting that Lowry had success against the Golden Knights during the season as well. The veteran had three points in three games. For whatever reason, he performs well against Vegas. He will continue to perform well in this game and will finish with a point. Bet on the over.

Colorado Avalanche vs Seattle Kraken

Mikko Rantanen Anytime Scorer -115 (BetMGM)

We will go to the Pacific Northwest for our fourth prop bet of the day. The Avalanche lost Game One of this series but rebounded and won Games Two and Three. This prop will involve the Avalanche’s star Mikko Rantanen. Rantanen is an incredibly talented scorer and a threat with the puck in his hands. He will score a goal today. Bet on him to be an anytime scorer.

Rantanen scored 55 goals during the season but also took a ton of shots. He did not lead the Avalanche in shots (that honor belonged to Nathan MacKinnon), but he shot over 300 times. I only say this because he has become much more efficient in the Playoffs. Rantanen is converting over 27% of his shots and has scored three goals. The winger is playing his best hockey, which will not stop today. Rantanen will put another puck in the back of the net this game. Bet on him to be an anytime scorer.

New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils

Mika Zibanejad O 0.5 Assists -115 (BetMGM)

We will return to New Jersey for our final prop of the day. This prop will involve the Rangers’ Mika Zibanejad. Zibanejad is yet to score a goal this postseason but has a couple of assists. He will secure another assist in this game. Bet on the over.

Zibanejad did not have an assist in Game One but had one assist each in Games Two and Three. He also had three assists against the Devils during the season. The Swedish native is a strong passer (evidenced by his 52 assists this year) but performs better against the Devils. Zibanejad also has many more assists when the Rangers win. I only say this because the Rangers are the favorites and will likely take this game on their home ice. I do not need to say anything else. Zibanejad will have at least one assist.  Bet on the over.
