NHL player props for Stanley Cup Playoffs: Sam Bennett among best bets for Thursday
NHL player props for Stanley Cup Playoffs: Sam Bennett among best bets for Thursday
Carolina hurricanes try to end their NHL-Record 13 games in the Eastern Conference Final, and even the series in a victory when welcoming the reigning champion Florida Panthers for match 2 when the Playoffs of the Stanley 2025 Cup continue on Thursday. Carolina has not registered a victory in the final of the conference since defeating the Buffalo Sabers in seven games in 2006, as it was devastated by the Pittsburgh Penguins (2009), Boston Bruins (2019) and Florida (2023) in his next three appearances before dropping the opening of this year’s series against the Panthers.
Carter Verhaeghe recorded a goal and assistance, as Florida recorded a 5-2 victory in match 1 on Tuesday. A total of 11 players landed on the panthers’ tile sheet, who have surpassed their 38-18 opponents while going 6-2 on the road.
Seth Jarvis helped to establish the two goals in the loss of hurricanes, who entered the Eastern Conference Final with a 5-0 record at home in these playoffs. The five permissible carriages were only two less than the total amount Carolina surrendered in her five -game victory over the most prominent Washington capitals in the second round.
Florida, who has scored 17 goals and allowed only four in his last three games away from home, won six of the previous series of seven in which he was victorious in match 1 on the road.
Here are some valuable players to consider when making accessories for NHL players for match 2 of the final of the East Thursday conference.
Sam Bennett, panthers: scorer at any time (+295, Draftkings)
Bennett set up a post -season race with seven goals in 19 games last year and has already coincided in 13 contests during these playoffs. The 28-year-old center, twice in three regular season meetings with the hurricanes in 2024-25, has been following an interesting pattern of punctuation. He has spent two games with a goal and then two without three times so far, starting with the first two Florida competitions against Tampa Bay Lightning in the first lap. If you think this trend will continue, Bennett should be converted on Thursday when it marked at the opening of the series. Strange things have happened in the history of the later season, so it is not crazy to bet on him to increase his leading playoff by eight goals.
Anton Lundell, Panthers: More than 0.5 points (+140, BET365That)
Lundell is one of the eight players who has won the double figures in points for Florida this post -season. The 23 -year -old Finnish center has been quiet in the afternoon, registering only two points in its last six competitions after a four -game streak, which recorded three goals and five assists. But Lundell pointed out four points in three meetings with Carolina during the regular season and is a solid choice to get one in the game 2 after being one of the four strikers of the four panthers who did not go to the series’ marker card.
Shayne Gostisbehere, hurricanes: more than 0.5 points (+115, BET365)
Gostisbehere has been one of the main offensive defenders this post -empowerment, as it occupies the fourth place in the league with eight points in 11 games. The 32 -year -old accumulated a total of eight points in his previous 32 race playoffs competitions. Gostisbehere has landed on the scoring sheet in seven games in general this post -season and four of its last five. After leaving -me falling twice earlier, he arrived with an assist against Panthers in match 1. I like to register at least one point on Thursday.
Eetu Luostarinen, Panthers: More than 0.5 points (+160, BETMGM)
The name Luostarinen does not come to me immediately when you think of players of the panthers who can make things done offensively. However, the 26 -year -old Finnish center is leading Florida and is tied by sixth in the NHL with 13 points in so many games after having entered this post -season with 15 points in 50 race playoff competitions. Luostarinen, who also shares the team’s leadership with nine assists, said four points in his last two games. He scored a goal at the opening of the series against Carolina, which selected him in the second round of the 2017 NHL project, but treated him in the Panthers in the 2020 trade period. Luostarinen has registered at least one point in seven of his last 10 competitions and I think he will get one in match 2.
