🚨 John Tavares Over 2.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love this prop about as much as I enjoy a bench-clearing brawl. Never unnerved or overcome by the moment, Tavares is a highly productive, consistent shot producer, and he's been notably profitable for me during the postseason. He hit the Over in three of four games thus far against the Panthers, averaging 4.25. 

He's fired at least three shots in seven of 10 playoff games, and a winning bet will profit $7.69 on a winning $10 bet.

🚨 Sam Bennett Over 0.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can hear Maple Leafs fans' audible sighs filtering through the speakers on my laptop. Yes, I'm back to backing Bennett, often undervalued by oddsmakers. I understand why he's loathed so much in the land of the Buds, but he's just too consistent in the playoffs to overlook.

Bennett has a point in three of four games against Toronto and seven of nine thus far in the postseason. bet365 offers the most value of our best NHL betting sites, where a winning $10 bet will profit $9.52.

💰 Best odds: -105 via bet365

🚨 Auston Matthews Over 3.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The scrutiny is raining down on the Maple Leafs captain despite his solid two-way play. Then again, he's paid to score goals, something he's certainly not doing. I expect Game 5 to be Matthews' moment, with the Leafs leader digging deep and, at the very least, letting loose to try and find a way to light the lamp. 

He'll probably score, too, but I'm not brazen enough to bank on something that rarely happens. He has only hit the Over on this prop once in this series, but Game 5 is at home, and Matthews should be playing like his life depends on it.
