Goal scorer pick: Mark Stone (+280)
Mark Stone scored his fourth goal of the 2026 postseason after two weeks off.
The 34-year-old winger's excellent play around the net allows him to cause trouble up front, especially on the power play.
In Game 3, Stone spent 4:25 of ice time on the man advantage, and the Vegas Golden Knights were able to generate seven scoring chances and five high-danger chances.
Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner can control the puck and find Stone for easy tap-ins, while his elite positioning also creates chances for him to knock in loose pucks off saves.
The Golden Knights' man advantage has scored in two of three games in the series, and the veteran's heavy involvement on PP1 has me betting this at +280 with confidence. Anything down to +250 is a go for me.
Goal scorer pick: Gabriel Landeskog (+220)
I desperately wanted to take Nathan MacKinnon at +105, but after missing the morning skate, I am pivoting to the Colorado Avalanche's captain, Gabriel Landeskog, who was highly active on Sunday.
Landeskog scored his second goal of the series on six shots in Game 3, and the Avs dominated while he was on the ice. In 24:04 of ice time, Colorado outshot Vegas 17-4 and had 21 scoring chances for compared to eight against.
The captain also sported a 66.67% Corsi For percentage (CF%), including 58.62% at 5-on-5.
His strong play at even strength is important to highlight, as the Avalanche have been downright ass on the man advantage. Landeskog is tilting the ice whenever he plays, and I would play this down to +200.
Goal scorer pick: Brett Howden (+305)
This is purely a price play for me. Brett Howden scored his 10th goal of the postseason in Game 3 — albeit an empty netter — but I still think +305 is a misprice we can take advantage of.
Brett Howden pairs nicely on the second line with William Karlsson and Mitch Marner, with the trio sporting a 53.33% CF% in 9:49 of 5-on-5 in Game 3.
Howden played just over 12 minutes at 5-on-5 in his last outing, and the Golden Knights had four high-danger chances while giving up zero.
His elite 60% face-off percentage has the Knights relying on him defensively just as much as they do offensively, which puts him in situations like penalty kills — and the final minutes of the game with an empty net just begging to be scored on.
Howden doesn't shoot often, but his 37% shooting percentage in the playoffs proves that even when the volume is low, his efficiency is there. I would play this down to +275.
