The NHL Playoffs continue on Saturday, and there are four games set to take place. It is Game 3 of every series that will be taking place, and three of the four matchups are knotted up at 1-1.

NHL Sportsbooks

Betting on each game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is a great way to go, but betting on player props is an even better decision. Here are five NHL player prop bets to target for games on Saturday, May 7th.

Alex Ovechkin Over 3.5 SOG (-146)

Panthers vs. Capitals Picks

The Washington Capitals head home to host the Florida Panthers, and they have already stolen home-ice advantage. Washington is no stranger to the postseason, and the home crowd will be amped up and ready for this game.

Alex Ovechkin also has a history of coming up big in the playoffs, and he will be aggressive in this game. The over/under is set at just 3.5 shots on goal, and that feels extremely low for this player.

Ovechkin had five shots in the Game 2 loss, and he will get to that number again on Saturday.

NHL Playoffs Odds

Jonathan Huberdeau Over 1.5 Points (+174)

Staying in the same game provides our next good player prop betting option as this game should feature a ton of scoring. Jonathan Huberdeau is one of the best offensive players in the league, and he will need to show up big on the road.

Florida might need at least four goals to win Game 3 on the road, and Huberdeau will have to be at the center of it all. Look for Huberdeau to have a big night on offense as he records at least two points in this matchup.

Filip Forsberg Over 3.5 SOG (+108)

Avalanche vs. Predators Picks

The Nashville Predators are a desperate team as they return home after losing both games in Colorado. The Avalanche have to find a spark on offense, and Filip Forsberg needs to be the one that provides it.

Forsberg led the Predators with points in the regular season, and he will have to take his chances on Saturday. Look for the veteran to record at least four shots on goal as he tries to set the tone against Colorado.

NHL Playoffs Predictions

Sidney Crosby Over 0.5 Goals (+156)

Rangers vs. Penguins Picks

The Pittsburgh Penguins are hosting the New York Rangers on Saturday night, and that series is all tied up. New York has the momentum after a convincing Game 2 win, but the Penguins have been in this position before.

It’s never easy to bet on a team to score a goal, but Sidney Crosby has done this before in his career. Pittsburgh needs a spark, and Crosby will score a goal on Saturday night in a bet with valuable odds.

Johnny Gaudreau Over 0.5 Points (-196)

Flames vs. Stars Picks

The Calgary Flames have scored just one goal through two games this postseason, and they are a desperate team entering Saturday night. Calgary has to find a way to do some damage in Dallas, and they need their leader to take charge.

Johnny Gaudreau scored 115 points in the regular season, and he is one of the most talented players in the league. Gaudreau will find a way to make a big play in Game 3 as he will record a point.
