The Oilers have their first chance to wrap up the Eastern Conference Finals and secure a rematch in the Stanley Cup with the Panthers. However, the series moves back to Dallas, and with their backs against the wall, the Stars may come out firing more than they have been. Here are my favorite props for Game 5.

Best NHL Player Prop Bets
Play of the Day: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Over 0.5 Assists (+130 ESPN)
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Nugent-Hopkins is having the series of his life and has seven assists through the first four games. As long as he is on the top power play with McDavid and Draisaitl, let’s ride this one.
