- Sergei Bobrovsky over 24.5 saves (-135)
Aaron Ekblad 1+ points (-105)
The veteran defenseman was kept off the scoresheet in Game 4, but then again, so was every player on the Panthers. Ekblad registered one-or-more points in all but three playoff games prior and has already tallied three points (one goal, two assists) in two games at PNC Arena in this series.

Sebastian Aho over 2.5 shots on goal (+105)
Aho registered seven SOG in Game 4, the second time this series he eclipsed the 2.5 shots-on-goal mark. He scored on one of those shots on Monday night, so he should be eager to keep his production up — especially with Wednesday’s game being win-or-go-home for Carolina.
Aho to register over 2.5 shots on goal is priced at +105 at BetMGM Sportsbook, where new users can get the latest BetMGM promo code good for up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses.
Sergei Bobrovsky over 24.5 saves (-135)
The SportsLine model projects over 5.5 goals will be scored in Game 5, so Bobrovsky will likely be facing a lot of shots yet again. The Russian netminder is averaging 24 saves a night through four games against Carolina including a 31-save night in Game 1. He also made 25 saves in Game 4 while only giving up one of the Hurricane’s three goals. This player prop is listed at -135 at DraftKings.
