Key Player Prop Bets for Panthers vs. Oilers Game 4

(Odds are subject to change)

  • Sergei Bobrovsky over 26.5 saves (-130)
  • Carter Verhaeghe 1+ points (-120)
  • Evan Bouchard over 2.5 shots on goal (-175)

Analysis of Player Props

Sergei Bobrovsky over 26.5 saves (-130): Although the Oilers only scored one goal in Game 3, they continued to direct a high volume of shots towards Bobrovsky, recording over 30. He was particularly busy in the first two games, making over 40 saves in each. Facing an Edmonton team desperate for offensive production to overcome a series deficit, Bobrovsky is expected to face another substantial workload, making the over 26.5 saves prop appealing.

Carter Verhaeghe 1+ points (-120): Carter Verhaeghe has been a significant offensive force for Florida in the Final, accumulating five points (one goal, four assists) through the first three games. His strong performance against Edmonton extends to the regular season, where he registered three points (two goals, one assist) in their two meetings. His consistent production supports betting on him to record at least one point in Game 4.

Evan Bouchard over 2.5 shots on goal (-175): While less frequently highlighted than teammates like McDavid or Draisaitl, defenseman Evan Bouchard has made a notable impact on the series, particularly with his shooting volume. He has recorded five points (one goal, five assists) in the first three games and impressively totaled 24 shots on goal over that span. This high frequency of shots makes the prop bet for Bouchard to exceed 2.5 shots on goal in Game 4 a strong consideration.
