- Carter Verhaeghe 1+ points (-120)
- Evan Bouchard over 2.5 shots on goal (-175)
Sergei Bobrovsky over 26.5 saves (-130)
While the Oilers managed just one goal in Game 3, they continued to generate a significant number of shots, directing over 30 pucks towards Bobrovsky. He has faced a high shot volume throughout the series, notably recording over 40 saves in each of the first two games. Expect Edmonton to ramp up their offensive pressure in Game 4 as they desperately try to avoid falling into a difficult 3-1 series deficit, likely resulting in another busy night for Bobrovsky.
Carter Verhaeghe 1+ points (-120)
Carter Verhaeghe has been a prominent offensive force for Florida during the Cup Final, contributing five points (one goal, four assists) across the first three contests. His effectiveness against the Oilers extends to the regular season, where he registered three points (two goals, one assist) over two games against Edmonton.
Evan Bouchard over 2.5 shots on goal (-175)
Although not as widely recognized as stars like Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, defenseman Evan Bouchard has made a significant impact in this Cup Final series for the Oilers. He has accumulated five points (one goal, four assists) through the initial three games and has been particularly active in shooting, tallying an impressive 24 shots on goal during that period. His willingness to shoot makes the over 2.5 shots on goal prop an attractive option.
