Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
The turnaround has been impressive for the Leafs. They were left for dead after a Game 1 beat down, but they've persevered, won three straight, and are on the brink of eliminating the back-to-back-to-back Eastern Conference Champions.
Toronto has been able to attack the net and shoot the puck past one of the greatest goalkeepers in the world. You cannot put it all on the Vasilevsky; the Tampa Bay blue line has been a weak point all season, and they allowed the tenth-most high-danger shots. This has allowed all of the stars on offense to excel, and they have five guys with six or more points.
Toronto had the fourth-best expected goals in the regular season, and that two-way hockey has been on display the last three games.
Parlay Odds: +607
New York Rangers vs. New Jersey Devils
Another team that was thought to be done was the Devils. The talented offense was suffocated for just two goals in the first two games in Jersey, but they were much better in The Garden.
The Devils' offense still hasn't played up to its potential, as the Rangers' stellar defense has kept them in contention. Jack Hughes is showing why he finished with the most points on the team, but some other top players, like Jesper Bratt and Nico Hischier, have yet to light the lamp.
The Devils have shut down the red-hot Rangers offense in the last two games. Vladimir Tarasenko, Artemi Panarin, and Adam Fox each had zero points, and Chris Kreider didn't have a goal for the first time in Game 4. The change at goalie to rookie Akira Schmid has been a great move, and he has 2.9 goals saved above expected.
The last two games have been close, and that's the momentum they need to keep this game the same way.
Parlay Odds: +709
Winnipeg Jets vs. Vegas Golden Knights
The Jets pulled off a dominating performance with the 5-1 win, but it's been all Vegas as they look to close out this series.
Winnipeg's health is a big concern, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Mason Appleton, and Kevin Stenlund all have questions about their availability, but they will be without Josh Morrissey and Mark Scheifele and his 43 goals.
The availability of some of these players will play a significant role for the Jets, but if Nikolaj Ehlers returns, it's a considerable boost.
The Golden Knights are still better talent-wise, especially on offense, and they've shown they get goals in clusters.
Parlay Odds: +429
