Best Player Prop for Carolina Hurricanes
Logan Stankoven OVER 2.5 Shots on Goal (-125)
Stankoven is making a bid for the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. He became the first player in franchise history to notch a five-game goal streak in the postseason.
As impressive, Stankoven has eclipsed 2.5 shots in all five playoff games: 6, 5, 4, 3, and 5. Expect that trend to continue tonight. He leads Carolina with 23 shots in the playoffs.
Best Player Prop for Philadelphia Flyers
Dan Vladar OVER 25.5 Saves (-125)
Dan Vladar turned away 20 of 23 shots in the opener. In the previous game, he recorded 42 saves in the series-clinching win over the Penguins.
Coming off a week-long break, the Canes recorded their lowest shot total of the playoffs. They averaged 33.25 shots per game in the opening round against the Senators. The shot volume should revert to form tonight, and Vladar has been terrific in the postseason.
After seven starts, Vladar boasts a 1.82 goals against average and a .928 save percentage.
