Goal scorer pick: Jackson Blake (+275)
Jackson Blake has been a revelation in these playoffs, scoring six goals and adding 12 assists. The youngster netted his first goal of the Stanley Cup Final in Game 4 and has recorded five shots on goal across the last two contests. Blake has also generated five individual high-danger chances in the series.
Looking at the postseason as a whole, Blake leads the Carolina Hurricanes with 29 individual high-danger chances. He’s consistently putting himself in dangerous scoring areas, and the volume of quality opportunities continues to support another goal-scoring performance.
I’ll play this pick to +200.
Goal scorer pick: Jordan Martinook (+540)
This one may feel like a bit of a long shot, but hear me out. Jordan Martinook has one goal in the Stanley Cup Final and is getting pucks on net, recording seven shots on goal across the last three games.
Despite scoring just twice this postseason, Martinook has generated 17 individual high-danger chances, one of the best marks on Carolina’s roster.
Additionally, Martinook has produced 3.64 individual expected goals and 45 individual Fenwick attempts during the playoffs. The opportunities haven’t translated into goals as often as he’d like, but the underlying numbers suggest he’s been far more involved offensively than his goal total indicates.
I’ll play this pick to +400.
Goal scorer pick: Brett Howden (+270)
Brett Howden has quickly made a name for himself in the playoffs. He leads the Vegas Golden Knights with 14 goals in just 20 games and has already scored four times in the Stanley Cup Final. The center has generated 22 individual high-danger chances this postseason, including 14 on the road.
In the Final alone, Howden has produced 12 individual Fenwick attempts, ranking third on Vegas. The veteran continues to put himself in dangerous scoring areas, and the underlying chance generation suggests more opportunities should follow.
I’ll play this to +200.
