Pick - Prop
Mitch Marner Over 2.5 SOG (+100)

Marner had 10 shot attempts last game which was one short of the team lead. He had just two count as shots on net but because of that, his Over 2.5 shots on goal is still very reasonably priced at +100. Max Domi hasn’t been looking to shoot despite three shots last game and Bertuzzi is a hard worker on the line who can get Mitch the puck with space. Marner could also have a better shooting role on the power play without 34 as he had one of his two shots on goal in the last game with the man advantage and accounted for 20% of the power play's shot attempts. There is also the added benefit of extra time in this game following overtime in Game 5. Marner will need to do more offensively in the absence of Matthews again.

Pick - Prop
Bruins team total Under 2.5 (+125)

Joseph Woll has played six games and made three starts in the postseason over the last two seasons and has posted a sub-2.00 GAA with a shiny .929 save percentage. Boston hasn’t looked great offensively in the series with just 10 goals over the last four games and a heavy reliance on the power play to score. David Pastrnak is not doing what he wants on the ice and Brad Marchand looked a little tilted last game getting zero points and taking two penalties. With no Matthews, the Leafs are going to need another full-team effort defensively. I love the Under 5.5 at +100 but think there is a little more to squeeze out of the Bruins team total Under 2.5 at +125.

Pick - Prop
Max Domi Over 0.5 assists (+180)

Max Domi might have been the best Leafs player on the ice in Game 5. He was amazing in the face-off circle winning 12 of his 14 draws with one of those face-off wins resulting in a goal that he collected his third assist in four games. He finished with three SOG but the eye-test showed a player that was not looking to shoot first which is great for another round on his assist prop Over. The market has fallen but I still don’t think it’s where it should be considering his role on the first line and with the top power-play unit. It’s going to be a low-scoring game so Over props on points/assists at plus money are the way to go Thursday night.
