Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers

Auston Matthews Anytime Scorer -120 (BetMGM)

We will go to Florida for our first prop bet of the day. The Panthers have an opportunity to sweep the Maple Leafs in this game and move on to the Eastern Conference Finals. Florida has shocked the NHL in these Playoffs. They barely made the Postseason and were down 3-1 in the First Round against the Boston Bruins. However, they pulled off an incredible comeback and won the next three games.

Auston Matthews will be the subject of this prop. Matthews has been quiet in this round, but I expect that to change today. The center will put a puck in the back of the net. Bet on Matthews to be an Anytime Scorer.

Matthews is yet to score against the Panthers but scored five times in the First Round. Since the Maple Leafs are on the brink of elimination, the 25-year-old will enter this game with a different mindset. Not only is Matthews a talented player, but he is also a clutch player. He will step up in the moment and figure out a way to score. Bet on Matthews to be an Anytime Scorer.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers

Sam Bennett O 0.5 Points -130 (BetMGM)

We will stay in Florida for our second prop bet of the day. Sam Bennett will be the subject of this prop. Bennett came out hot in this series and had an excellent Game One. However, his last two games have been a lot quieter. I expect him to return to form today and finish the game with at least one point. Bet on the over.

Bennett had a goal and an assist in Game One but has had no points since then. He has shot six times but has not been able to score. However, since he has been quiet in the previous two games, that means he is due for a point today. That could come as a goal or an assist. Not only is he due to put a puck in the back of the net, but Bennett is also due to set up his teammate with a scoring chance and secure assist #4 in the Playoffs. Bet on the over.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers

Matthew Tkachuk U 3.5 Shots on Goal -120 (BetMGM)

We will look at Matthew Tkachuk for our third prop of the day. I could talk for hours about Tkachuk’s dominance, but I will not. Instead, I will talk about his shooting. Tkachuk has taken on more of a passing role in the Playoffs and has limited his shooting. He will finish this game with three or fewer shots. Bet on the under.

Tkachuk has not been shy about shooting in the Playoffs, but he has been hesitant at times. The winger put up two shots last game and has only taken seven shots in this series. Interestingly, Tkachuk shot a lot against the Maple Leafs in the regular season but has not had the same opportunities in the Playoffs. I do not see this game being any different. Since he has not shot more than three times this round, there is no reason for me to believe that he will shoot four times today. Bet on the under.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers

Evan Bouchard O 0.5 Assists -130 (BetMGM)

We will go to Edmonton for our fourth prop of the day. The game will be an intense battle. The Golden Knights have a 2-1 series lead, but the Oilers can tie it up at home and give themselves a chance with a win. Evan Bouchard will be the subject of this prop. Bouchard has been a star for the Oilers in the Playoffs. He will secure an assist in this game. Bet on the over.

Bouchard only has three goals in the Playoffs but also has 11 assists. He did not have an assist last game, but the Oilers only scored one goal. Very few Edmonton players had assists, so it is understandable that Bouchard left that game without a point. However, the defenseman had at least one assist in seven games before that. I expect the Oilers to score more than one goal in this game, so Bouchard will have enough opportunities to get at least one assist. Bet on the over.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers

Leon Draisaitl O 3.5 Shots on Goal -130 (BetMGM)

Leon Draisaitl has been the Oilers’ star these Playoffs. Draisaitl has kept Edmonton in many games with his incredible scoring. He has 13 goals in nine games this Postseason. However, you can only have 13 goals in nine games by shooting a lot. Draisaitl will have four or more shots today. Bet on the over.

Draisaitl had a quieter Game Three and finished with three shots. Unsurprisingly, this is lower than his Playoff average of 4.11 shots per game. However, I would not be too concerned. The Oilers’ offense was stifled, and they only scored one goal. As I mentioned in the prop above, I expect the Oilers to score more today. That means that Draisaitl will shoot more today and finish with four or more shots. Bet on the over.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers

Reilly Smith O 0.5 Points -105 (BetMGM)

We are on to our final prop bet of the day. This bet will involve the Golden Knights’ Reilly Smith. Smith only had two points in the First Round but has ramped it up against the Oilers. He will finish this game with one point or more. Bet on the over.

Smith had an assist in Game Three and an assist in Game One. He has not scored a goal in the Playoffs, but he has provided Vegas with some timely assists. Vegas would take a 3-1 lead with a win today, so I expect Reilly to make some intelligent passes and try to help his team win. One of those passes will result in an assist. Bet on the over.
