So now, Nugent-Hopkins skates on a wing with Connor McDavid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Game 2, though, Nugent-Hopkins who was stuck on the ice with the third line when he created a scoring opportunity that was finished off by Connor Brown to put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The makeshift winger is a talented player in his own right, but joining McDavid&#8217;s line is just another reason to get behind this pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nugent-Hopkins also skates on the top power play. He scored his goal with the man advantage on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the former No. 1 overall pick has been an incredible playoff performer during his time in the NHL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Nugent-Hopkins has 74 points in 87 career postseason games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:114127\">Embed: #114127<\/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 3 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Granlund over 1.5 shots (-114):<\/strong> Dallas&#8217; top line is made up of Roope Hintz and two midseason additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more notable one is Mikko Rantanen, but Granlund has also been super effective since being acquired at the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Finn is constantly a threat in the offensive zone, cashing this wager in eight of his past 10 playoff games.
