After a long journey, we’ve reached the last frontier of the NHL season, where the Vegas Golden Knights will battle the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup Final.
Carolina has rampaged through the East, going 12-1 and employing a suffocating defense and sturdy goaltending, allowing a mere 1.54 goals per game alongside a hefty 92.5% penalty kill.
Vegas answers with a 12-4 mark through 16 games. The Golden Knights are second overall in playoff scoring at 3.63 goals per contest and convert 23.9% of powerplay chances.
I’ve taken that and more into consideration when configuring these Golden Knights vs Hurricanes player props.
Read below for my favorite Game 1 picks on Tuesday night.

LV Golden Knights vs CAR Hurricanes Prop Pick #1: Eichel Shots on Goal
Pick 1: Jack Eichel OVER 2.5 Shots on Goal (-110 at DraftKings)
Jack Eichel drives the Vegas offense, pacing the squad with 42 shots on goal through 16 games. Facing Carolina’s elite defense requires high usage, and Eichel boasts a sturdy historical comfort level against the Hurricanes.
He’s topped 2.5 shots on net in six consecutive games against Carolina, averaging an impressive 4.33 shots per contest during that span. Trend models flag this prop with a massive 94 interest score. At -110, the volume is incredibly safe, making it a premier target.
Golden Knights vs Hurricanes Prop Pick #2: Stone Points
Pick 2: Mark Stone OVER 0.5 Points (-131 at DraftKings)
Mark Stone consistently cracks tight defensive schemes. The Vegas captain has five goals and five assists in 11 playoff games, and his track record against elite defensive units makes him a prime target to light the lamp or dish a primary helper.
Trend data shows Stone has recorded a point in eight of his last nine games against top-10 scoring defenses. He produces exactly 1.0 points per game in those highly contested matchups.
Vegas vs Carolina Prop Pick #3: Jarvis Shots on Goal
Pick 3: Seth Jarvis OVER 2.5 Shots on Goal (-137 at DraftKings)
The Hurricanes dictate games through sheer shot volume, and Seth Jarvis feasts within this system. Jarvis has registered 33 shots through 13 games. He enters tonight riding a notably hot streak, eclipsing the 2.5-shot mark in six of his last eight appearances.
Averaging 3.25 shots per game over that stretch, Jarvis will see plenty of opportunities to pepper the Vegas net in a game where Carolina is heavily projected to dominate possession.
