NHL Stanley Cup Final Player Prop Bet Picks: Game 5 (Panthers vs. Golden Knights)
It’s do-or-die time for the Florida Panthers as they head back to Vegas down 3-1 in the series. The books are heavily tilted toward the Golden Knights to finish this out, but Florida has come back before in these playoffs. For our purposes, the lines have definitely moved tighter now that we’re well into the series, but there is still some value on the board.
We have plenty of data to work with from these two teams, and our model has been profitable thus far in these playoffs, up 16.475 units through the first four games between these two. So let’s take a look at which props we’re targeting for Game 5.
