🚨 Jack Eichel Over 0.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eichel finished the season in anemic form, which spilled into the first few games of the playoffs. The Golden Knights will be elated to see their offensive leader awake from an extended slumber, with Eichel notching three assists in the last two games.

He's also firing at will, with 14 shots in the previous three games after only two in Games 1 and 2. His latest surge has seen his Conn Smythe Trophy odds and the Golden Knights' Stanley Cup odds improve drastically.

While I like his shot prop for Game 6, I've chosen his assist prop as Eichel is currently threading the needle, and teammates have responded. Whether on the power play or 5-on-5, I'm expecting Eichel to get at least one assist for the third straight game.

🚨 Ryan Hartman Over 2.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐

Hartman hit the Over in three of five contests but didn't get off the mark in Game 4. The +155 odds at bet365, the longest of our best sports betting apps, imply a 39.22% probability. I expect the Wild to enjoy a frenzied, relentlessly high-pressured start, which should pay dividends on their shot total.

Hartman was a much more productive shooter on home ice, averaging 2.4 shots per game during the regular season at Xcel Energy Center. Compare that to just 2.13 on the road.

While only a two-game sample size, he's averaging three per game at home during the playoffs. A slightly more speculative pick, I'm banking on the hard-nosed, intense forward to rise to the desperate occasion.

🚨 Kirill Kaprizov Over 0.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kaprizov will score or set up a teammate based on the first five games. That's why you can't get any value on his point prop unless you want to go with a multi-point pick.

That could be challenging in a potential elimination game where I expect defense to be on top. So, I'm settling for a Kaprizov assist, expecting him to break through on a setup to his trigger man, Matt Boldy.

"The Thrill" has four assists in the series, notching an apple in three of five contests. Most of our best NHL betting sites offer -110 odds, which would profit $9.09 on a winning $10 bet.
