The Florida Panthers try to stay alive against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5 of their Stanley Cup Final series Tuesday. Puck drop at T-Mobile Arena is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Golden Knights odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Golden Knights have just been too much for the Panthers and now lead the series 3-1 after securing a 3-2 road victory in Game 4 on Saturday. Vegas got out to a 3-0 lead in Game 4, and Florida made it interesting but just didn’t have enough in the tank. G Adin Hill has been great in the series with a 0.925 SV%.
We learned after the game that Florida LW Matthew Tkachuk suffered an undisclosed injury, and he’ll be a game-time decision for Game 5. G Sergei Bobrovsky has righted the ship after a couple of rough games, stopping 53 of 58 shots in Games 3 and 4. He will need to be even better than that to extend this series.
We cashed 3 of the 5 props in Game 4 and sit at 14-6 in the series.
