We're heading into our first weekend of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, which means the first set of games are switching venues. Wednesday saw each series get tied up 1-1 except for the Carolina Hurricanes escaping overtime with a 2-0 lead over the New York Islanders. However, even that game is listed as a pick 'em for tonight's action. With such tight battles, you may not feel as confident predicting winners. If that's the case, I have y ou covered with our NHL player props. We have been off to a strong start throughout this first week and plan on keeping it going.

Matthew Tkachuk, FLA, Over 3.5 shots on goal (-130)
The NHL-best Boston Bruins were shocked on Wednesday night–and on home ice, no less. Now they have to head down to South Beach to try and bounce back. That's not to say the Florida Panthers aren't a great team in their own right, but a 6-3 victory isn't something they were expected to pull off on the road. It's also worth noting that the Panthers beat the Bruins twice in the regular season, with both of those games coming in Florida. Rather than sweating out another victory, I’m only worried about a specific skater: Matthew Tkachuk. He has come through for us time and time again this season, and teammate Aleksandar Barkov delivered on Wednesday night.'
