Vegas Golden Knights at Florida Panthers best prop bets, predictions

The Vegas Golden Knights take on the Florida Panthers Saturday in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. Vegas leads the series 2-1. Puck drop at FLA Live Arena is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Golden Knights vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Golden Knights fell to the Panthers 3-2 in overtime in Game 3. Both sides combined for just 50 shots on goal in a much slower-paced game than we had previously seen in the series. RW Jonathan Marchessault continued his onslaught with a goal for a 4th straight game. The Conn Smythe favorite has found the back of the net in 7 of his last 8 games.

Florida had a ton of chances, but they were 0-for-5 on the power play. LW Matthew Tkachuk tied the game with just over 2 minutes to go, and C Carter Verhaeghe won it just shy of the 5-minute mark in OT.

We cashed 2 more bets in Game 3 to move to 11-4 in the series.

Game 4: Best Golden Knights at Panthers prop bet picks

Totals: OVER 1.5 Goals in 1st Period (-130)

We’re sticking to our guns here as this one has cashed in all 3 games thus far. It cashed in Game 3, and the teams only combined for 11 shots. So it’s not broken, and I’m not trying to fix it.

Mark Stone OVER 2.5 shots (-110)

This was one I was considering last game but ultimately omitted. It’s a shame because it has now cashed in 5 straight games. Vegas’ captain remains a focal point of the offense, and he got a redirection goal in Game 3.

Jack Eichel UNDER 3.5 shots (-175)

Eichel routinely hits 3 SOG, but he hasn’t touched 4 SOG in 5 straight games now. You wonder if that vicious hit from Tkachuk has curbed his aggressiveness a bit. It’s chalky, but the data supports it.

Jonathan Marchessault OVER 0.5 Points (-160)

Marchessault continues to be the star of this series with 5 goals and 2 assists. It’s really surprising this number isn’t 1.5 as he has a goal in 4 straight, and 7 of 8, and points in 8 straight and 10 of 11. His anytime goal prop is also tempting at +115.

Totals: Will both teams score 2 or more goals (including overtime and shoot-outs)? YES (-175)

We really haven’t seen Florida push the pace yet in this series, and the teams have cashed this one in each game. I look for a quicker game in this one, and both goalies have shown some weaknesses.
