DENVER, COLORADO - MAY 03: Nathan MacKinnon #29 of the Colorado Avalanche plays the Nashville Predators in the second period during Game One of the First Round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Capital One Arena at Ball Arena on May 03, 2022 in Denver, Colorado.

The Colorado Avalanche plays host to the St. Louis Blues for Game 2 of their second-round playoff series tonight in Denver. 

The Avalanche dominated the series opener but narrowly escaped with a 3-2 overtime victory after a strong performance by Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington and a plethora of puck luck as the Avs hit five posts. 

Centerman Nathan MacKinnon has dominated these playoffs with 5-goals and 7-points in five games, and DraftKings and Fanduel are offering a few intriguing props on the Nova Scotia native.

DraftKings offers the best return on nearly all the props, narrowly edging out FanDuel's points total number, but the difference is negligible. 

MacKinnon ranks 8th among playoff performers with a 4.11 individual expected goals mark (ixG) and has averaged 7.6 shots in his past six games.

Typically more of a distributor, MacKinnon has been regularly lighting the lamp these playoffs, and we shouldn't expect that to change tonight.
