The Knights came in hot in Game 4 in Florida, running out to a quick 3-0 lead. This came as the result of a pair of Chandler Stephenson goals and one from William Karlsson. It was an impressive display on hostile ice, which underscored the overall dominance that the Knights have shown throughout this series, seemingly controlling the play across the board.

The Panthers made a comeback, cutting the lead down to one late in the third period. A tense, exciting last few minutes didn’t produce any goals, however. Things turned ugly after the buzzer as well, with both teams getting into a very heated fight. Down 3-1, this Panthers team has its back up against the wall and nowhere left to go.

The million-dollar question is now whether the Florida Panthers can force a Game 6, or if Las Vegas will win the Stanley Cup on Tuesday night. Our team of experts are ready to make a Panthers vs. Golden Knights prediction for Game 5. This series has been anything but simple to predict, but one side of this game stands out from a betting perspective.

When the time comes to make our Panthers vs. Golden Knights prediction, we’re picking the Golden Knights to close out the series in regular time (-115 at BetMGM). The Knights were here back in their inaugural season in 2018, losing to the Washington Capitals. It is evident that they are no longer just “happy to be here” and want to bring home the first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Jonathan Marchessault, Karlsson, and Stephenson have all made history already. With 13, 11 and 10 goals respectively, they are already the top three in franchise history for goals in a single playoff run. Marchessault (24 points) and Jack Eichel (23) have bested Reilly Smith’s 22 points from his 2018 playoff run, and could still add to it.

Simply put, these Golden Knights aren’t going to settle for second place. They have been relentless, disciplined, and effective throughout the Final, and it should pay off with their first Stanley Cup championship.

Marchessault has been making a strong case for the Conn Smythe Trophy. With all due respect to Adin Hill, it is Marchessault that has made the Golden Knights tick. If you want an expert Panthers vs. Golden Knights prediction from our team, look for “Marchy” as an anytime scorer (+105 at BetMGM Sportsbook).

Marchessault is tied for the playoff lead (with Matthew Tkachuk and Dallas’ Roope Hintz) in points with 24. He has been an absolute monster in this series, too. He has points in all four games, totaling four goals and seven points through the first four outings.

Don’t fall for the shots prop, though. He is listed at 3.5 shots, though hasn’t hit the over (+120) but one time in the series (Game 2). Marchessault finds his spots and makes the most of them, so if you plan on betting on him, take him to score a goal rather than to fire a bunch of shots.

The total goals have been the most interesting part to watch. The total is set at six, with the under (-120) having hit in the last two games (both 3-2 finals). Both teams are going to be pressing, which could threaten the over (+100), but look for Adin Hill and Sergei Bobrovsky to deliver one last great performance in this final.

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final will be on Tuesday, June 13, at 8 p.m. EST. The Golden Knights lead the series 3-1 and have the chance to capture their first Stanley Cup in franchise history. Our expert Panthers vs. Golden Knights prediction has the Knights finishing out the series and lifting the Cup in front of their home fans.
