Best Bet Hurricanes vs. Flyers: UNDER 5.5 (-142)

This one carries a little more juice than we care to pay, but you can parlay it with a side or player prop below. That worked out well in Game 2.

Both goaltenders — Dan Vladar and Freddie Andersen — are having incredible playoff runs. Andersen is 6-0 with a 1.02 goals against average and .958 save percentage. He’s coming off a 34-save effort in Game 2.

Vladar made 39 saves in a losing cause on Monday. He sports a 1.89 GAA and .929 save percentage.

Best Player Prop for Carolina Hurricanes

Logan Stankoven OVER 2.5 Shots (-155)

Logan Stankoven is pouring pucks on net this postseason. He’s averaging 4.5 shots per game and leads Carolina with 27 total shots in the playoffs.

He’s also accounted for six goals and seven points to pace the Carolina offense. Remarkably, Stankoven has covered this number of shots in every playoff game this year.

If this is too much juice for your comfort level, consider backing him to have OVER 3.5 shots at +155.

Best Player Prop for Philadelphia Flyers

Sean Couturier OVER 0.5 Goals (+400)

Sean Couturier found the back of the net for the first time this postseason in Game 2.

He leads Philadelphia with 21 shots in the playoffs, and 10 against Carolina. He’s also had five high-danger chances, so, surprisingly, he hadn’t scored until Game 2.

Even with that goal, expect him to score more in this series based on his shot volume.
