Hurricane-Panthers Showdown Forecast and Prop Wagers for Monday, May 26th
The Florida Panthers have the opportunity to secure their berth in the Stanley Cup Finals on Monday night, as they host Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Carolina Hurricanes at home. The Panthers hold a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series, with the Hurricanes losing 15 consecutive conference final games spanning back to 2009.
The Panthers have outscored the Hurricanes 16-4 in the series and are currently 1.5 goal favorites for the upcoming match. The team's dominance has led many experts to believe that the series may already be over, but several intriguing prop bets and predictions still warrant attention.
One such prediction involves the Panthers winning comfortably on Monday night, with ten of their last 13 games going over the total. However, this time, the under seems to be the smarter play, considering the Hurricanes' struggles to generate offense throughout the series.
Both Aleksander Barkov and Sergei Bobrovsky stand out as noteworthy players to watch. Barkov has scored multiple goals in two of the three games already played, and his strong performance on the power play makes him an attractive candidate to score again on Monday. On the other hand, Bobrovsky has excelled in the playoffs, posting a 1.20 goals-against average in his career against the Hurricanes.
Meanwhile, some prop bets to consider include Barkov as an anytime goal scorer at +195, Bobby Verhaeghe recording 1+ shots in each period at +340, and under 24.5 saves for Bobrovsky at -132. With his excellent form and the Hurricanes' offensive struggles, placing a bet on Bobrovsky under 24.5 saves could be a smart move for Monday night.
As the Panthers continue to dominate the series, both experts and betting markets overwhelmingly favor them to advance. However, the Hurricanes have shown resilience in the past, and Monday's match promises to be an exciting showdown. The series will shift back to Carolina for Game 5 should the Panthers claim victory on Monday.
