🚨 Evander Kane Over 0.5 Points ⭐⭐⭐

Kane’s stellar playoffs continued in Game 4 with a two-point performance, including his fourth goal in eight games. He was also on the ice for all three of Edmonton’s goals, drawing an assist on Adam Henrique’s second tally of the first period.

After Kane, Henrique, and Connor Brown showed instant chemistry when they teamed together, we should expect Edmonton head coach Kris Knoblauch to roll with that same line combination in Game 5.

Each of the three ranks among Edmonton’s top six in expected goals during these playoffs, so Kane should have plenty of opportunities to crack the scoresheet once again.

🚨 Tomas Hertl Under 0.5 Points ⭐⭐

Hertl started the playoffs with three goals and five points in his first four games, but he’s gone pointless in six games since. His shot attempts are also down dramatically, leading to speculation that the veteran forward is playing through an injury.

With the Golden Knights struggling to generate offense at home (two regulation-time goals or less in three of their five home games in these playoffs), don’t expect Hertl to snap out of his funk tonight.

🚨 Victor Olofsson Over 1.5 Shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Before the return of Pavel Dorofeyev in Game 3, Olofsson was on the Golden Knights’ top power-play unit and potted a pair of goals in Game 2.

The Knights have gone 0-for-5 with the man advantage since then, and Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy moved Olofsson back to the first power-play group midway through Game 4.

Cassidy could look to make a similar switch tonight. Oloffson has also been a high-volume shooter in these playoffs at home, averaging nearly seven attempts per game in four outings at T-Mobile Arena.
