Neil Parker’s expert pick: Brandon Bussi Over 21.5 saves
Price: -110 at BET99
In addition to winning consecutive starts, Carolina Hurricanes netminder Brandon Bussi was particularly sharp in Game 5, with 23 saves and 2.84 goals saved above expected.
Meanwhile, the Vegas Golden Knights have consistently tilted the ice in their favor for stretches throughout the series:
-
11 shots on 26 attempts in the second period of Game 1
-
23 shots on 35 attempts in the second and third periods of Game 2
-
23 shots on 43 attempts in the second and third periods of Game 3
-
Nine shots on 22 attempts in the third period of Game 4
-
13 shots on 25 attempts in the third period of Game 5.
The Golden Knights should place an even higher emphasis on testing Bussi early and often in Game 6, and I’d recommend playing this prop down to -125.
Todd Cordell’s expert pick: Seth Jarvis Over 0.5 points
Price: -140 at BET99

Seth Jarvis leads Carolina forwards in time on ice and sits third in expected goals. Carolina has fared very well during his minutes, creating more expected goals and high-danger chances with Jarvis on the ice than any other player.
It has translated to success on the scoreboard — Carolina has scored 10 times with Jarvis on the ice — but only three points for Jarvis. That’s a 30% involvement rate, which is not even half of what he managed over the course of the season.
Look for Jarvis to get back on the scoresheet in Game 6. I’d bet this to -150.
Todd Cordell’s expert pick No. 2: Jack Eichel anytime goal scorer
Price: +270 at BET99

Jack Eichel hasn’t scored in the Stanley Cup Final, but it’s not for a lack of opportunities. He’s taken 25 shot attempts and generated 14 scoring chances, ranking him near the top of the Golden Knights in both categories.
He also leads the team in offensive zone faceoffs and percentage of draws taken in the offensive zone. John Tortorella is doing his best to put Eichel in good spots to produce.
Eichel has scored on only 4% of his shots in the playoffs after finishing at a 10.38% rate during the regular season.
There’s no better time for him to break through than in a do-or-die Game 6. I’d play Eichel to +200.
