Hello everybody and welcome! We bring you a Stanley Cup Final 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!

Please note that this is for tonight's Game 2. This gives us even more time to focus on hints on Slack and social media as well. There will be a few more picks on social media as conditions and statuses change.
Fantasy Score Point Totals
Nikita Kucherov Over 5.0 Points. Sometimes we underestimate the effects of adrenaline and tonight we might be overestimating that factor. However, the Tampa Bay winger showed the ability to slice through the middle of Montreal's defense and garner prime scoring chances. He scored twice and chipped in an assist in Game 1. With the last line change, the Tampa Bay forward should expect similar opportunities in Game 2. It boils down to can Montreal and Carey Price stop enough of them this time around? The risk with Kucherov is his lower shot volume. It has been seven games since the forward had four or more shots on goal. Still, take, the over here anyway. Worse comes to worst, the Steven Stamkos over at 3.4 points is something to look at as well.
Tyler Toffoli Under 3.0 Points. Wednesday night may feature another installment of will Montreal even score more than one goal? Montreal looked a bit overmatched in Game 1 mustering less than 20 shots on goal. While a better effort is expected, Toffoli will be targeted by the Tampa Bay third line which is the best third line in hockey. Toffoli and his offense have dried up a bit. He has just three shots on goal over these previous two games with no points and two blocked shots. Most forget that the winger can be easily bottled up with Tampa Bay having the last line change. It may be better to look toward Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki.
Brayden Point Over 4.5 Points. This could be a little bit of risk also. However, Point simply will take what the defense gives him. He has 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in his last 11 games. In that span, the center has had at least two shots on goal in all of those except the series clincher against New York last round. Point found many wide-open chances against the Suzuki line in Game 1. With Jon Cooper having the last line change, expect the forward to see more of those opportunities. There are few forwards in the NHL that can work from within five feet of the net quite like Point. Take the over again.
Josh Anderson Under 2.4 Points. Aside from a two-goal and four-shot outburst against Vegas, it does seem Anderson is far more focused on hitting the opposition. If hits counted on PrizePicks, we would take the over. The winger has 5+ hits in each of his last four games. However, this is not how it works. Anderson does not possess enough floor upside to justify rostering on Wednesday night. This is because, in 12 of his last 13 playoff games, the winger has either one or two shots on goal. He only blocks a shot occasionally. Hence, our rationale is simple. Take the under.
