The best bets
Alex Ovechkin, capitals: scorer at any time (+135, Fanduel)
To go back to the regular season, Ovechkin has registered a goal in 10 of his last 14 games. The new winner of the Maurice Richard trophy, who undoed the legendary Wayne Gretzky as the leader of all NHL times in the regulars of the regular season last month, became three of the five Washington competitions against Montreal in the first round. The next goal of Ovecchkin will be the 77th of his post -season career, which will transfer him ahead of another great – Mario Lemieux – for the 12th History of Playoff’s history. The 39-year-old Russian scored twice in three meetings with Carolina by 2024-25, and scored four high during his seven-game game of seven games in 2019.
Leon Draisaitl, Oilers: scorer at any time (+130, Draftkings)
Draisaitl reached the 50 goals for the fourth time in his career and third in four seasons this campaign, as he set 52 to capture the Richard trophy. The 29 -year -old German scored in three of Edmonton’s first four games against Los Angeles in the opening round, but did not record any of Oilers’ nine goals during the last two contests. However, Draisaitl twice turned into four games against Golden Knights this past season and six times in the loss of six Oilers games in Vegas in the second round of the Playoffs in 2023.
Evan Bouchard, Oilers – 1+ Assistance (+110, Draftkings)
Bouchard has registered 48 assists in 59 career post -season games, including three at the opening of the first round against the Kings. However, the 25-year-old defender has passed five competitions in a row without one, his longest dry spell since the beginning of the 2024-25 season with a drought of six games. Its longest duration without attendance in the playoffs occurred in 2022, when it failed to nine in nine consecutive contests. Although he has published a couple of two -goal performances since his last attendance, it is difficult to imagine that Bouchard will not set an account for a sixth consecutive game.
Connor McDavid, Oilers – 2+ Assists (+190, Draft)
McDavid, winner of the Ross Art Trophy, McDavid has registered 89 attendance in 80 career post-season games, publishing 28 multi-assistant performances during his last 67 competitions. Three of these efforts came to the victory of six Edmonton games over Los Angeles in the opening round. The 28 -year -old stated a couple of attendance twice when the Oilers lost to the Golden Knights in their 2023 game and recorded more than one on nine times last season, when he set up the NHL record for most in a year in Playoff with 34 in 25 contests.
