Sam Bennett 1+ points (-140)

Bennett also scored two goals against the Hurricanes during the regular season, so he should look to continue that success as the series shift’s to the Panthers’ home barn.

The Panthers forward has only been held without a shot on goal in one game during the playoffs. He has registered five points (one goal, four assists) on three SOG in Games 1 and 2 in Carolina. He has been especially productive on home ice and has hit over 2.5 SOG in two of his last three games at Amerant Bank Arena.

Sebastian Aho over 2.5 shots on goal (+105)
Aho was held to one SOG in Game 2 after exploding for six in Game 1. He is averaging 2.4 SOG through 12 playoff games, but the SportsLine model is leaning on him to exceed that number in a crucial game for the Hurricanes. Aho to tally over 2.5 shots on goal is priced at +105 at BetMGM.
