<h1><a href="https://betway.com/en/sports/grp/ice-hockey/north-america/nhl">Leon Draisaitl to register over 2.5 shots at -150. My $12.50 bet would return $20.80. </a></h1>
<p>Leon Draisaitl will be all over the ice in another elimination game for his squad. He now gets a top six running mate in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, so I really like this line. Draisaitl has hit his over in three of four games against the Panthers this series.</p>
<p>Take this play at a full unit.</p>
<h1>Sam Reinhart to score anytime at +140. My $10 bet would return $24.</h1>
<p>It&#8217;s time, Reinhart got on the board in game three but has been relatively quiet in this series for his standards. I think that changes tonight, the 57-goal scorer will be crucial for the Panthers tonight in an elimination game.</p>
<p>Take this play at .8 units.</p>
<h1>Panthers to win in regulation +105. My $12.50 bet would return $25.60.</h1>
<p>Florida had the same script against the Tampa Bay Lightning, they lost game four up 3-0 but were able to close the Bolts out on home ice in a lopsided game five win. I expect a similar fate tonight or this series is going seven.</p>
