Our first NHL prop bet for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final comes in the form of backing Jonathan Marchessault to score a goal in this game at +105. Marchessault was held scoreless for the first time in this series in Game 4, but he has still scored four goals through the first four games of the series. Averaging a goal per game in the Stanley Cup Final, expect him to break through with a goal in what should be the final game of the season on the ice.
Marchessault was especially effective during the first two games of this series when the games were held in Vegas. He logged seven shots in those two games, scoring three times in those seven shots. He will be aggressive again in this game and help the Golden Knights to close out the Stanley Cup Final on home ice on Tuesday night.
Look for Marchessault to be especially dangerous on the power play if he is going to get onto the scoresheet in this game. He has scored three power-play goals in this series already, getting one of them in each of the first three games of the series. With the Panthers racking up penalty minutes in bunches throughout this series, Marchessault should get his chances to score with a man advantage for Vegas.

Next, look for Adin Hill to go under his saves total of 28.5 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Hill has gone under the 30-save mark in three of four games in this series, with the lone exception coming all the way back in Game 1 where he saved 33 shots. Here, Hill should once again go under the 30 save mark and get under the 28.5 save number in the process based on what we expect from this game itself.
Overall, this game should go Vegas’ way from the start, as the energy in T-Mobile Arena combined with the superiority of the Golden Knights should help them get out to an early lead and keep it. If Vegas runs away with things en route to winning the Stanley Cup, we should see both teams ease up a bit down the stretch, or get some backups into action. That would help this prop pick go under the total.
Hill barely went over this number in the last game for the Golden Knights, as he saved 29 shots, with the last of those shots coming right at the final buzzer. Here, things should be far less suspenseful, as our full game pick for this game is for the Golden Knights to cover the puckline. If that happens, Hill should be able to avoid hitting the 29 save mark again, to the delight of under bettors.
Our final NHL prop bet for Tuesday is for Mark Stone to end this game with at least one point on the power play in Game 5. Stone has two power play points in this series so far, notching a power play goal and assist in Game 3 of this series. At a plus price, Stone is a good value to help the Golden Knights accomplish more positive things on the power play here.
In particular, look for Stone to make an impact with his passing, just like he did in Game 4 of this series. Stone has four assists in the last three games, including two assists to help the Knights win Game 4. His role as a facilitator will be more valuable than ever on the power play if Vegas is going to close this out.
