Chris Wassel presents his NHL DFS prop picks on PrizePicks for Tuesday, May 11th. Use his NHL prop picks recommendations to win money on PrizePicks.
Hello everybody and welcome! We bring you another 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: We are heading into the second season. This year has a bit of a transition as the rest of the games this week are makeups from COVID delays. Next week will begin the playoffs and tonight's slate will get one prepared for what is to come. Finally, do watch for load management as some players may be unexpectedly rested tonight. Just check on social media every so often before lock to make sure.
Fantasy Score Point Totals
Anthony Mantha Over 3.5 Points. Mantha has cooled off a little since his torrid start in Washington. Now, he does have assists in consecutive games but just two shots in each. So, even the chances and shots have ticked down a bit. After a five-game stretch without a point at all, is Mantha finding his offensive game again? Without Alex Ovechkin in the lineup, the winger is playing Ovechkin-like minutes (21:54 last game). The one big nugget here is that Washington is playing an unrested team in the Boston Bruins. Now, Boston yields just 27 shots per game (2nd lowest in NHL). Mantha will have his work cut out for him.
David Pastrnak Over 4.0 Points. Tuesday night features a ton of risk with the props and this short two-game slate is full of ugly. The danger with the Boston winger is over the past week, his shot output has dropped to one or two shots each game. For a player that routinely is in the 3-4 shot range, that is an odd sort of blip. Washington's defense is not bad but their goaltending has been slightly below average all season. Pastrnak has just two goals in his last ten games and has not tallied multiple goals since April 3rd. The Bruins' offense usually does not suffer much on the back end of back-to-backs. He has blocked a few shots lately and that may be enough to just squeak him over the prop tonight.
Kyle Connor Over 3.5 Points. This should be an easy over on Tuesday night given how gassed Vancouver is defensively. That sets up well for a sniper basically. Connor scored his first goal in over two weeks on Monday and could again tonight. He had a goal on four shots, three chances, and over 24 minutes of ice time. Do not be surprised if Connor plays a good bit over 20 minutes again. The winger may need every one of those shifts to hit this prop. Thankfully, Vancouver allows 3.26 goals per game but more importantly 33.4 shots per game. Over the last ten games, those numbers jump to more than 3.5 goals per game, and over 35 shots allowed per night. Take the over anyway for Connor against Vancouver's 77.3% penalty kill as well.
Bo Horvat Over 3.1 Points. This is thankfully a prop set at a lower amount. So, we take another big risk. Horvat can pile up a few shots and Winnipeg can give up some goals. Vancouver will choose to play a bit of pond hockey as they have no playoff berth to chase. Meanwhile, Winnipeg is trying to fend off the Montreal Canadiens for the third seed in the North Division. The good aspect here is that Horvat can block shots well as a center. His offense has dipped at times but he will get every chance on the power play and all the top-line shifts he can muster. The expectation tonight is a more sloppy contest so this should be interesting. An assist and a few shots are all Horvat needs. If he plays 20+ minutes again, that is a reasonable ask.
