Best NHL Prop Bets for Thursday, May 7

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

• Logan Stankoven OVER 2.5 Shots on Goal (-125) at Flyers
• Sean Couturier Anytime Goalscorer (+450) vs. Hurricanes

Logan Stankoven OVER 2.5 Shots on Goal (-125) at Flyers

I broke down this pick in the Hurricanes vs. Flyers betting preview:

We cashed on this prop in Game 2 as Stankoven fired four shots on net after he came through for us with a point in Game 1.

I’m going right back to Stankoven to get at least three shots on goal in Game 3. He has OVER 2.5 shots on goal in all six games this postseason, including OVER 3.5 in four contests.

Stankoven is proving to be a big-game player for the Hurricanes.

I would ladder this up to 4+ and even 5+ SOG tonight in Philadelphia. It’s also worth a look at Stankoven to record a point (-154) or score a goal (+225) given his playoff dominance.

Sean Couturier Anytime Goalscorer (+450) vs. Hurricanes

Sean Couturier has turned back the clock to become one of the Flyers’ best forwards in these playoffs. He finally broke through with a goal in Game 2, and leads the team with 1.52 expected goals in all situations thanks to 10 shots on goal and five high-danger scoring chances, which also lead the team.

Couturier could see a bigger role in the Flyers’ offense with Noah Cates out, Christian Dvorak day-to-day, and Owen Tippett yet to play in this series.
