Now, here are three player props for Hurricanes vs. Panthers on Thursday:
The Panthers center has averaged 1.8 shots on goal over his last five games, although that’s not from a lack of trying. Barkov had a nice wrist shot that went wide of the net in the first period of Game 1, so he could be extra eager to contribute on Thursday. This player prop is listed at -190 at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users can get $200 in bonus bets with the latest DraftKings promo code.
The Hurricanes are averaging 33.1 shots on goal per game in the playoffs and put up 33 in Game 1 alone. Meanwhile, two-time Vezina Trophy winner Bobrovsky registered 31 on Tuesday night. Carolina could turn up the heat in Game 2 in order to win at home before the series shifts to Florida, so they will try to break Bobrovsky’s streak of five games allowing two or fewer goals.
This prop is priced at +100 at BetMGM Sportsbook, where new users can get the latest BetMGM promo code.
Aho registered six shots in Game 1 and scored one of Carolina’s two goals of the evening. That brought his average up to 2.6 per game in the playoffs, and he should be hungry to help his team get in the win column on home ice. Aho to tally over 2.5 shots on goal is listed at -110 at BetMGM.
