Vegas Golden Knights Betting Analysis
The Vegas Golden Knights were on the verge of a 3-0 stranglehold on the Stanley Cup Final before a late Panthers goal tied it and OT winner sent the Florida faithful home happy. It wasn’t for a lack of effort on the power play. In the Cup Final, Vegas has taken advantage of Florida’s undiscipline penalties, going 6/17 on the power play, registering two goals in all three duels.
Jonathan Marchessault had a meager start to the postseason with just two assists through seven games – since then, he’s been on a monster tear, with 13 goals and eight assists in his last 13 tilts to be the -110 favorite in the Conn Smythe Trophy odds.

The Golden Knights scored just twice in Game 3. They’re 12-2 in their last 14 after lighting the lamp twice or less in their previous game. They’re 6-1 in their last seven when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game.
Florida Panthers Betting Analysis
Where would the Florida Panthers be without their two stars in goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and power forward Matthew Tkachuk? After two subpar outings, Bob rebounded in Game 3, making critical saves to backstop his squad before Carter Verhaeghe scored the OT winner.
Matthew Tkachuk’s playoff heroics can’t be understated. He’s scored three OT winners, and in Game 3, scored late in the third stanza to send this to overtime. He’s the second choice to win the Conn Smythe at +350. Unlike Vegas, who has been firing on all cylinders on the PP, Florida hasn’t – they’re 0/12 with the extra man in the Final.
Matthew Tkachuk is now tied for the League lead with 24 points this postseason and can become the first player in @FlaPanthers history to lead the NHL in points in one playoff year. #StanleyCup#NHLStats: https://t.co/eLi1EzhhUq pic.twitter.com/N0IENo1n5K
