We have reached the final week of the 2021-22 NHL season, and that means that the biggest games are still coming up. There are still plenty of great betting options this week as well, though, as some teams are trying to finish off the year strong.
Betting on individual games is always a great option, but looking at player props can be an even better bet to make. Here are five of the best NHL player prop betting options for Thursday, April 28th.
T.J. Oshie Over 0.5 Points (+102)
Capitals vs. Islanders Predictions
The Washington Capitals are in the playoff field already, but they are trying to improve their playoff positioning. Washington is on the road at New York on Thursday night for a matchup with the Islanders.
New York just beat Washington earlier this week, and that will have the Capitals looking for revenge. The Capitals are scoring over 3.3 goals per game on the season, and that offense will look to do some damage.
Look for the veteran T.J. Oshie to step up on Thursday night as he will tally a point to allow this bet to hit.
Jonathan Huberdeau Under 1.5 Points (-124)
Panthers vs. Senators Predictions
The Florida Panthers just continue to score goals at a record clip, and Jonathan Huberdeau has been the best offensive player for the team. Florida is taking on a bad Ottawa team on Thursday night, and there will be some goals scored.
Even though the Panthers are going to score some goals, it’s hard to predict what player will do the scoring. This provides a good betting opportunity as taking the under 1.5 points for Huberdeau is the way to go.

Jesper Bratt Under 0.5 Points (+118)
Devils vs. Hurricanes Predictions
Jesper Bratt leads the Devils with 46 assists and 71 total points, and he has been the bright start for this New Jersey team. New Jersey is on the road at Carolina on Thursday night to face a great Hurricanes team.
The Hurricanes are allowing just 2.43 goals per game, and they will do all they can to slow Bratt down on that end of the ice. New Jersey won’t do much scoring in this game at all, and that will keep Bratt out of the scoring column.
Take the under 0.5 points, and Bratt and the Devils struggle against Carolina.
Victor Hedman Over 0.5 Power Play Points (+122)
Lightning vs. Blue Jackets Predictions
The Tampa Bay Lightning are in Columbus on Thursday night to take on a struggling Blue Jackets team. Columbus has struggled in many areas, but they have not been good on the penalty kill at all.
Victor Hedman is the point man for the Lightning on the top power play unit, and he has dished out 62 assists on the year. His best work comes on this unit, and he will find a way to make a big play in this game.
Hedman either scores a goal or gives out an assist on the power play to allow this bet to hit.
Nathan MacKinnon Over 0.5 Goals (+122)
Predators vs. Avalanche Predictions
Nathan MacKinnon is having a down year by his own standards, but he has still picked up 32 goals on the year. MacKinnon and the Avalanche host the Nashville Predators on Thursday night, and it could be a high-scoring affair.
It’s always difficult who will do the scoring for the Avalanche, but there will be plenty of goals scored. MacKinnon always has the ability to score a goal, and he is going to light the lamp on Thursday night.
Take the over 0.5 goals for MacKinnon at +122 as a way to cap off the night.
