Our best NHL player props for Friday, May 1
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Alex Tuch Over 0.5 points
Alex Tuch has led the Buffalo Sabres in points in the playoffs, registering six. He has three goals and three assists across five games against the Boston Bruins.
Tuch has hit the Over in points in four of his last five, and he’ll be poised to respond after Buffalo’s 2-1 Game 5 loss.
Tuch finished the regular season with 66 points, and he’s collected three points in two road games in this series as the Sabres visit the Bruins tonight. He’s also had nine SOG across the last two games, signaling Tuch’s heavy involvement in the offense.

Prop #2: Nick Suzuki Over 0.5 assists
Nick Suzuki and the Montreal Canadiens are one win away from moving on, and the captain is producing at a high level in this first round.
Suzuki, who was fifth in the NHL during the regular season with 72 assists, has notched five helpers in the series. He’s cashed the Over in all but one game.
Suzuki has an assist in back-to-back appearances, and he is the Canadiens’ top playmaker. Playing on the top line with Cole Caufield (51 goals this year) and the PP1 with all of Montreal’s top stars, he’ll have lots of chances to grab another apple tonight.

Prop #3: Pavel Dorofeyev anytime goal
Pavel Dorofeyev is a huge reason why the Vegas Golden Knights are on the brink of advancing.
The 25-year-old scored once in Game 4 before bagging a hat-trick in Game 3 as Vegas won 5-4. He’s playing with a ton of confidence at the moment, and the opportunities are there.
He has nine SOG across the last two contests, and Dorofeyev was one of the Golden Knights’ top scorers during the regular season, scoring 37 times.
Given how hot he is over these last two games, you'd best believe Vegas will be getting him involved a ton. Another goal in Game 6 is very realistic.
