There's another slate of NHL playoff games on tap for tonight, and we've got three player prop picks for you to consider.

Tonight's slate features four games, with reprises of the first games between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning, Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets, and Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators.

Here are three lines that look a bit off and might be worth a look before the pucks drop on Tuesday night.

NHL Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Kyle Connor (WPG) Over 2.5 Shots on Goal -157

It's safe to say that the Colorado Avalanche have a goaltending problem. Alexandar Georgiev was a problem in the regular season, and he cost the Avalanche Game 1 against the Jets on Sunday.

Winnipeg should come out firing, and while you're paying some juice with this line, Connor getting to three feels like a solid proposition. He had five on Sunday night.

The American winger is the Jets' most dangerous shooter, and he had success on Sunday. He should feel confident and emboldened to use his skill set to exploit Colorado's weakness.

NHL Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Elias Lindholm (VAN) To Record a Point +106

Lindholm was Vancouver's big trade deadline acquisition, and though he was a disappointment for the Canucks in the regular season, he made his presence felt in Game 1.

A goal and a plus-two on the scoresheet surely endeared him more to the Vancouver faithful, and the two-way center is going to be a huge part of any success Vancouver has in this playoff run.

He has 18 points in 28 career playoff games, putting him comfortably above the half a point per game rate this line would suggest. Look for the Swede to find the scoresheet again whether it's a goal or another assist.

NHL Playoffs Player Prop Bets: Alexis Lafreniere (NYR) Over 2.5 Shots on Goal -115

Lafreniere went under this number by finishing with two in Game 1, but we like the powerful winger to go over this number tonight.

The former first overall pick started his career in disappointing fashion, but this year he's been something of a revelation for the Rangers providing them with a reliable secondary scoring piece who plays well on both ends of the rink.

He's become the sort of player who will always play over 15 minutes, and reliably strong ice time is helpful in shot markets. The Capitals have tried to smother the Rangers offense with tight defense and a clogged neutral zone, but the Quebec native is the type to bruise through and get chances close to the net when he wants to be assertive.
