NHL Game 6 Player Props & Bets: Tuesday (Oilers vs. Panthers)

In case you’re wondering what it’s like to be an Oilers fan heading into Game 6 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final… It feels like wondering if Edmonton should pull their goalie with three minutes left in EVERY quarter.

Florida is in the driver’s seat and heading home to finish the series. There is exactly one way for the Oilers to beat them, and that is to score more goals than they do. So, who is scoring? Who is assisting? Should we do our props with the expectation of a 7-6 hockey game? Here’s how I’m looking at tonight’s (possible) last game of the season.

Best NHL Player Prop Bets

Play of the Day: Mattias Ekholm Over 0.5 Points (+152 FanDuel)

It’s Game 6, and things are going well for Edmonton. You can tell because they don’t know who is playing goalie, and this is also the fourth time in the series that they have changed their defensemen lines. Apparently, Mattias Ekholm is going to be on the top line with Evan Bouchard, who LOVES to shoot. The important thing here is that he has collected a point in four of the first five games of the series. At +152, it’s worth a play.
