Panthers vs Knights Game 1 Prediction
I think we see a high scoring game to start this series. Sergei Bobrovsky is due for a little regression after playing out of his mind, and this Vegas Golden Knights team has proven to be able to score against great goalies. We’re in for a great Stanley Cup Finals!
Because of this, I’ve got a lean on the total and a player prop!
Over 5.5 (-115) BetMGM
Like I said, I think we see a lot of offense to start this exciting series.
Both offenses have shown they’re capable of producing chances, while both defenses have exposed some holes. Both goalies have been playing great, and Bobrovsky specifically out of his mind, but I think too many chances will be created tonight.
I think the Knights win this one 5-3.
Jonathan Marchessault Over 0.5 Point (-150) BetOnline
This guy has been incredible for the Knights this playoffs, and because of that, his name is mentioned along side the Conn Smythe Trophy.
He hits this number in 57% of games on the season, and 60% in the playoffs. Marchessault also has been incredible the last few games specifically.
He has a point in 8 of his L10, including 5 multi-point games. He also has a point in five straight games, including two multi-point games. Marchessault has 9 goals in his L10 games, including one goal in 4 of his L5.
We’re sticking with the hot hand tonight.
