On Tuesday night, the Florida Panthers look to close out the Edmonton Oilers in Sunrise, Florida and hoist the Stanley Cup for the second time in as many years. They’re motivated to end this series tonight, but the visitors certainly won’t go down without a fight as the sting of last year’s Cup loss lingers. Can the Oilers stay alive with a chance to rewrite history, or will the Panthers emerge as a potential dynasty?

Here are the best Panthers vs. Oilers prop bets for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final tonight.

Panthers vs. Oilers prop bets

Evan Bouchard anytime goalscorer (+450)

Defenseman Evan Bouchard has remained a crucial cog in the Oilers’ attack this series. He’s logged at least three shots in every single game and also has another three outings with seven or more shots on goal. His grand total of attempts sits at 30 shots, an average of six per game, but Bouchard only has one goal to show for those efforts. He’s gone three games without sending a puck into the net, and as he almost certainly keeps hurling the disc toward the posts, the odds here are absolutely worth investing in.

Brad Marchand 3+ shots on goal (+115)

The Rat King looks like a man possessed in this series. Brad Marchand boasts six goals in five games, and scored in four contests with two multi-goal efforts. He’s simply unstoppable right now, and having taken at least three shots in four of five games, this prop bet feels quite safe given his role recently. To top it off, Marchand took five or more shots in three contests, including five shots in each of the last two games. He’s going to keep shooting, all while getting under the Oilers’ skin to break them down.

Connor McDavid TOI over 25:30 (-115)

The only problem with this prop bet is that it excludes overtime, but even given that stipulation, Connor McDavid should go over this mark. The stakes can’t get any higher as the Oilers stare down a bitter end to their campaign. They have the best player in the world on their team. It’s do-or-die time, so McDavid won’t leave the ice much tonight. Need I say more?
