Ducks vs. Golden Knights Best NHL Prop Bets
Golden Knights Best NHL Prop Bet
- Mitch Marner OVER 0.5 Assists (-140)
Mitch Marner is rewriting his playoff narrative. The former Maple Leafs winger has 16 points in 10 playoff games this year, which is more than he had in any postseason with Toronto.
Of Marner’s 16 points, 10 have come via the assist, including three in the Game 4 loss in Anaheim.
Marner now has an assist in eight of 10 games in these playoffs, and he should get another one tonight at home. He had 32 assists (51 points) in 41 home games during the regular season as compared to 24 assists (29 points) in 40 road games.
Ducks vs. Golden Knights Prediction and Pick
The Ducks aren’t going down quietly. After upsetting the Oilers, they know have a chance to do the same against the Golden Knights.
Vegas was without Mark Stone in Game 4, and his absence cannot be understated. He is a huge piece for the Golden Knights, so his status for Game 5 is crucial.
This is a much closer series than these odds suggest. I have to take the Ducks as road underdogs tonight.
Pick: Ducks +130
