NHL Player Props & Bets: Oilers vs. Panthers Game 1 (Wednesday)
It’s finally here! In case you forgot, hockey isn’t done yet, and now we get a rematch of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. (As an Oilers fan, I am stoked.) This series could lead to a lot of unders on some big names, but I think Game 1 is going to be higher scoring because Edmonton at home is a different beast. Let’s see what we’ve got.
Make sure to tune in live on the FantasyPros Twitch Channel on Tuesdays and Fridays at 3 p.m. EST to catch all of our favorite bets throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs. (Please note: This Friday’s live stream will be at 2 p.m. EST.)

Play of the Day: Connor McDavid Anytime Goal (+145 FanDuel)
I don’t have much here other than Connor McDavid looks like a man on a mission who will not be denied. I think that last year’s 0-3 start to the Final has been at the forefront of his mind ever since they lost, and he is not going to let it happen again. He scored three goals (11 total points) in last year’s series, and I think he’ll start the scoring tonight. (First goal is +1000 if you’re feeling adventurous.)
