Lightning vs. Panthers Player Props: Game 4 Odds & NHL Expert Picks for Monday, April 28
The Battle of Florida has lived up to the billing so far, with road teams posting hard-fought underdog victories in each of the first three games. And our Lightning vs. Panthers player props are banking on veteran leaders Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, and Aaron Ekblad to step up with strong performances in tonight’s critical contest as part of our NHL picks.
Florida hopes to change the trend of road teams winning in Game 4 as -140 favorites at home to take a 3-1 series lead over Tampa Bay (7 p.m. ET, ESPN and Sportsnet).
🏒 Best Lightning vs. Panthers player prop bets: Game 4
✅ Brayden Point Over 2.5 shots (+140 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐
✅ Nikita Kucherov Over 0.5 assists (-162 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
✅ Aaron Ekblad Over 0.5 points (+146 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐

🔎 Our NEW NHL player prop odds tool can help you find the best NHL odds across legal sportsbooks in your area!
🚨 Brayden Point Over 2.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐
Point has scored a goal in two of the first three games in this series, and his production has been no fluke. The high-scoring forward is tied for second with six high-danger chances in the postseason, and he’s averaged three shots on goal per game.
That consistent volume makes it comfortable to back him to generate multiple scoring opportunities again tonight. DraftKings’ +140 odds on Point Over 2.5 shots gives us a chance at a nice return without needing Point to find the net, but +180 on Point Over 0.5 goals at DraftKings, FanDuel and BetMGM is a solid alternative if you’d like an even bigger price.

🚨 Nikita Kucherov Over 0.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kucherov hasn’t scored a goal in 13 straight playoff games, but it’s hard to give him much heat about it because of how well he continues to set up his teammates. His three-assist performance in Game 3 made him the seventh player in NHL history to record 30 multiple-assist games in the postseason, and it was the 11th time he’s had at least three helpers in a playoff game.
He’s also drawn at least one assist in each of the last seven playoff games in which Tampa Bay hasn’t been shut out, and nine of the last 11.
With FanDuel offering a discounted -162 price on Kucherov to record at least one assist tonight (compared to -185 at BetMGM and -188 at Caesars), I’ll back the NHL’s premier setup man to improve those numbers tonight. A $10 wager pays $6.17, but it could make for a nice same-game parlay piece as well.
💰 Best odds: -162 via FanDuel

🚨 Aaron Ekblad Over 0.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ekblad has expressed plenty of regret about a failed drug test that caused him to be suspended for 20 games, including the first two games of the playoffs. Then, in his first game back from the suspension, he posted an ugly minus-4 rating in Game 3.
The veteran defenseman is known for his character, and I’m expecting him to do whatever it takes to make things up to his teammates tonight. At +146 at FanDuel, it’s worth taking a flyer on Ekblad recording at least one point in Game 4.
💰 Best odds: +146 via FanDuel
