He has 41 points in his last 32 postseason games, clearing that mark in 22 of those contests. That 68% hit rate exceeds the 61% implied probability of the wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I&#8217;ll instead opt for him to record an assist, which comes in at even odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bouchard is running point on a lethal power play that features Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. That unit is 5-for-9 since Game 2 of the opening round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rearguard leads all Oilers with 39 chances (i.e., shot attempts), so there are always plenty of opportunities for tip-ins and rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Bouchard has 31 assists in 32 playoff games since the start of last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:113561\">Embed: #113561<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/ice_hockey\/nhl?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NHL betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nhl-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NHL injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nhl\/top-skaters?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NHL stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 2 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perry to record a point (+125):<\/strong> I backed Perry on this market in Game 1 at +125, and he came through, scoring the Oilers&#8217; first goal of the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McDavid and Draisaitl assisted on that play, which is why I&#8217;m going back to the 39-year-old tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Draisaitl-McDavid-Perry line logged 42:49 of ice time together against L.A. and out-chanced the opposition 62-to-29 (68.13% Corsi rate).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They had 9:22 of ice time together in Game 1 and out-chanced the Golden Knights 10-to-4 (71.43% Corsi rate).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Perry doesn&#8217;t log big minutes \u2014 he&#8217;s averaging 13:39 TOI this postseason \u2014 but when he&#8217;s on the ice, it&#8217;s with two of the best players of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s good enough to justify a bet in my books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Oilers vs. Golden Knights prop picks made at 11:15 a.m. ET 05\/08\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights meet for Game 2 on Thursday night.
