Greg Wyshynski Senior NHL Writer: Avalanche Vs. Lightning UNDER 6 goals (-133)
With a total five goals, the last two games of this series were the under. As long as six goals are not exceeded, I believe that taking the under is the best play. The Lightning are playing their game, and that is defense. It’s going be a hard-fought, low-scoring road match if the Avalanche win tonight’s Stanley Cup. Since 2005, the under has been 10-4-2 in Games 6 & 7. The volume of action remains on the over: BetMGM reports 58% of tickets and 61% handle are on over for Game 5. This could suggest that large amounts of money are being wagered on unders, considering how the odds keep increasing.
Wyshynski: Mikko Rantanen Get an assist (-125)
Rantanen’s streak of four assists in the Stanley Cup Final was broken by Game 5. He is fourth in the playoffs, with 20 assisters. Fansure notes Rantanen has had an assist in 11 games of his 12 against the top 10 scoring defenses. This play is my favorite because Colorado coach Jared Bednar did not hesitate to reunite Rantanen. Nathan MacKinnon Gabriel LandeskogThe line has been terrorizing the NHL for four seasons. It doesn’t matter if he’s playing with them. Nazem KadriIt’s possible to score at 5-on-5. Combining that with his power-play, there is a lot of potential at a slightly lower price than Game 5.
