Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights Stanley Cup Finals Game 3 Betting Analysis
Before we get to the game, Brett Howden to win the Conn Smythe is +800 and a solid futures ticket to consider should Vegas win the series and Howden continue his goal scoring surge. He has now scored in three straight games against the Hurricanes, while Logan Stankoven for Carolina has now scored in three of four games – solid goal scoring player props to consider for Game 3. Also, Mark Stone scored in Game 2 and returns home where he has scored in three straight games.
The Over might not be a bad look, with both Games 1 and 2 going Over along with their last three meetings. Carolina is also on a 4-0 Over run when coming off a win, while Vegas is on a 3-0 Over run when playing as a favorite. With that said, Carolina has hit the Under in eight of nine on the road while Vegas has seen five goals or less in four of five at home.
Carolina might leak into plus-territory on the moneyline as Saturday night approaches. Watch the line movement, but Carolina has the value with a nine game road winning streak when coming off overtime, and covering the puck line in five straight as the underdog.
