After a pair of dominant wins at home, the Knights split their two-game trip to Florida. Victory in game five would wrap up the Stanley Cup Finals.

Suggested bets

Panthers @ Golden Knights - Game Five verdict

We predicted the Panthers would get a victory in game three and that the games in Florida would be lower scoring, leaving us with a perfect betting record in the finals to date.

Unfortunately for Florida, they were probably outplayed even in victory and followed it up with a game-four defeat.

Games one and two in Vegas weren't a contest and there's no reason why game five won't go the same way. To add to the Panther's woes, Matthew Tkachuk could miss the game.

They haven't been good enough to match the Knights at any point in this series with him. His play is crucial to their chances and without him, we think it'll be another blowout victory.

We highlighted the fantastic play of Adin Hill in this series and throughout the playoffs, while the Panthers still struggle to get their house in order between the posts.

We're going to put our perfect record on the line and attempt to go out with a bang in game five.

The Knights have been scoring at will and they have too much momentum and too much cohesion for the Panthers to slow them down.

It's hard to have faith that a Panthers goaltender will produce the type of huge performance they now need to stand a chance here, so any victory could be clear-cut.

Back the Golden Knights to win and lift the Stanley Cup, but also to cover the -1 handicap line for the third time in three finals home games.
