🚨 Alex Ovechkin ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm running out of superlatives to describe the silver-streak-haired Great 8. Along with wingman Dylan Strome, whom I featured in our Hurricanes vs. Capitals player props, the Capitals captain was the team's offensive catalyst against the upstart Montreal Canadiens. 

Now, he'll face a Carolina Hurricanes team he has five goals against in the last five games. Most of our best sports betting sites offer +130 odds, implying a 43.48% probability. A winning $10 bet would profit $13.

🚨 Seth Jarvis ⭐⭐⭐

Jarvis to score is a situational pick. I'm not blind to the fact that Jarvis doesn't score at a prolific rate. However, the 23-year-old has been Johnny on the spot against the Capitals recently, netting five in the last seven meetings, including three in the previous three.

Jarvis scored two goals in the first round against the Devils but should pose more of a goal-scoring threat against a Capitals team he matches up well against. DraftKings has the best price, where a $10 wager would profit $19.50 if he keeps his streak alive against Washington.

🚨 Mark Stone ⭐⭐⭐

Stone was impressive in Games 5 and 6 against the Wild, scoring in each. He bossed proceedings, using his body positioning and sheer force to find space. He also has the ability to cause havoc in front of the net, with a propensity to tip one past Calvin Pickard. 

He doesn't score a ton of goals, and the +230 odds at DraftKings reflect that. But I'm banking on the fact that Stone is feeling it entering Game 1. He's also a big-game player, rising to the occasion when the lights shine brightest. It looks like he landed in the right place. If Stone scores, you'll earn $23 on a $10 winning wager. 

💰 Best odds: +230 via DraftKings

🚨 Leon Draisaitl ⭐⭐⭐

Draisaitl hasn't scored in two games. That's like an Italian going without an espresso on consecutive mornings. He scored three goals in six games against the Los Angeles Kings, two of which were on the road.

There's also this little tidbit: the Hart Trophy finalist lit the lamp six - yes, six - times in the first two games in Vegas when these teams last met in the playoffs. He scored four goals in Game 1 of that 2022-23 second-round series. There's almost no chance of that happening again, but that's also what I said while watching the miracle in Winnipeg a few days ago. 

A winning $10 bet would profit $13.
