Hello everybody and welcome! We bring you our second playoff edition of NHL DFS on PrizePicks and that means our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build a 2-player, 3-player, 4-player, or 5-player entry and then select whether or not you want to play for the power play or the flex play. On the power play, you will need to be correct on each of your selections to win, and on the flex play, you will have a little more wiggle room for a chance to win some money back.
Our partners at PrizePicks offer some of the best, and easiest to win, NHL DFS games in the industry. There are no large-field tournaments filled with sharks where you have to get lucky just to place. At PrizePicks, you're not playing against other people, you're just playing against the projections, and the guys at PrizePicks have worked hard to give you really attractive opportunities to make some money. With promo code 'BALLER' you can get a 100% match on your deposit up to $100.
PrizePicks has two types of games. The first type of game is known as Fantasy Score. This game consists of selecting various players and trying to determine if they will go over or under their projected fantasy points in a game. The second game is known as Single Stat. For NHL, Single Stat consists of save and shooter shot props in which you determine if the goalie or shooter in question will go over or under their projected save and shot total respectively. You can mix and match players from each type of game in your entry or select all of your plays from the same type of game. Once you have selected your players and props, you can choose the aforementioned flex play or power play option. For today's article, we are going to try and focus on the main board's Fantasy Score and see which players may go over or under their projected point totals. Let's see what the board offers today!

Fantasy Score Point Totals
Sebastian Aho Over 4.6 Points. Aho cooled off a bit from Games 2 and 3. Who could see Brock McGinn scoring two goals in Game 4? Probably no one. Aho has goal-scoring potential on nearly every shift against Nashville. The chances have been plenty. He is averaging nearly six shots a game in this series alone and 1.25 real-world points per game. Aho just has to convert these opportunities. It is a 50-50 risk but a coin flip worth taking in Game 5 against a Nashville team that could easily give up 40 shots in regulation. Take the over here.
Filip Forsberg Over 3.4 Points. Tuesday night features another installment of yes "Forsberg Tuesday". In Forsberg's first three seasons, he registered at least a point in an amazing 85% of his Tuesday games. In half of those, Forsberg managed two or more real-world points including a hat trick while live on Sirius -- true story. This series has been a bit odd but the left-winger had 11 shots in Games 2 and 3 combined. Do not be shocked if he finds his way onto the scoresheet in Game 5. Forsberg has enjoyed some nice chemistry with Matt Duchene. It boils down to set up for Forsberg. It really does. Roll the bones and ride the over.
Auston Matthews Over 5.6 Points. This could be tough especially if Montreal clamps down on the game up or if Carey Price is on fire like he has been for most of this series. If he is held without a goal or assist, that may be the only way the under comes true. His floor has been around eight when it comes to shots on goal and blocked shots. That is a mind-boggling number. Montreal has not shown an ability to truly shut him down. Even when Matthews does not score, he does in a way. His extra effort led to an icing by Shea Weber in Game 3 which turned into the game-winning goal by Morgan Rielly. Matthews has eight goals in his last ten games against Montreal. The odds are on the over here too.
Tyler Toffoli Under 3.9 Points. This is an extremely risky play because Toffoli could stay mostly invisible or explode for multiple goals. The strange thing about this series is the fact that the winger has two assists in three games and yet has not been much of a factor. He has mustered just four scoring chances on six shots. For a player who easily would have topped 40 goals in an 82-game season, this was a bit unexpected. Yes, Jack Campbell has been good in net for Toronto but he is no Patrick Roy. Toffoli is not potting the few opportunities he gets. That is a little bit troubling at this stage. Taking the under here is a bold but justifiable move.
