The Hurricanes are allowing the fewest goals (1.80) and chances (50.56) per game, according to Natural Stat Trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I still think this is solid value for Marchand, who is skating on Florida&#8217;s third line and will draw a favourable matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Marchand, Anton Lundell, and Eetu Luostarinen trio generated a team-high 88 chances and six goals against Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Marchand has recorded a point in seven of his last nine games (11 total). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 1 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tkachuk under 2.5 shots (-154):<\/strong> This is an ugly-looking pick, but it should be profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tkachuk is clearly playing hurt after missing a large chunk of the season with a lower-body injury. The forward hasn&#8217;t scored in nine games and is averaging just 16:36 of ice time a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tkachuk is averaging 1.41 shots per game this postseason.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s gone under this mark in 9 of 12 games, landing on exactly three shots in the outliers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, Carolina gives up the fewest chances per game. Playing on short rest, I expect Tkachuk to struggle finding open ice and shooting lanes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Panthers vs. Hurricanes prop picks made at 9:05 a.m. ET 05\/20\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Eastern Conference final begins in earnest as the Carolina Hurricanes host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.
