Vegas Golden Knights ML (+100)
Right off the bat, we're expecting a bounce-back game for Jack Eichel and the Golden Knights. Admittedly, we've been riding the Panthers' Cinderella run through these 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but their luck may run out thanks to Vegas. The Knights have simply been the better team on the ice, even in Thursday's Game 3. Nearly every advanced metric was in Vegas' favor, including MoneyPuck having them as the winner over 70% of the time. While Eichel is undoubtedly the household name on the roster, Jonathan Marchessault has truly taken over this postseason. We'll dive more into his incredible play coming up, but it's helped lead the Knights to this point.'
Prior to Game 3, Vegas was 10-0 when leading after the second period. Although that undefeated streak was broken, Florida still had just one shot on goal in the overtime period. Similarly, they committed a penalty with just seconds left in the game. That's worth noting as their physicality has been more to their detriment in the Stanley Cup Final than it had been in previous series. Their penalty kill has been far from impressive, which should again play a factor in Game 4. Finally, it's also worth monitoring Matthew Tkachuk. Florida truly only goes as far as he takes them, and a hit in Game 3 sent him to the locker room. While we fully expect him on the ice, the first leg of our Golden Knights vs Panthers Same Game Parlay is still on Vegas' money line.
