| Player | Pick |  |
|---|---|---|

Over 0.5 assists | +105 |
 Mitch Marner |
Over 0.5 assists | -140 |
| John Carlson |

Game 2 Prop #1: Jackson LaCombe Over 0.5 assists
Jackson LaCombe continues to lead the Anaheim Ducks in these playoffs. He notched his team-best 10th point in Game 1 against the Vegas Golden Knights, and all but one have been assists. He set up the Ducks’ lone goal in Game 1, and LaCombe has cashed the Over in helpers in six of his last seven appearances.
The 25-year-old is playing huge minutes right now, averaging at least 27 per game across the last three contests. His TOI in the series opener was 28:07.
LaCombe plays on the top line with two of Anaheim’s best scorers in Leo Carlsson and Troy Terry, and is also a key driving force on PP1.
Game 2 Prop #2: Mitch Marner Over 0.5 assists
Mitch Marner has been a stud in the playoffs for Vegas, grabbing nine points, which includes six assists. The 28-year-old has hit the Over in helpers in four consecutive outings, and he’s notched an assist in all but one postseason game so far.
Marner finished with two points in the series opener, and he also had 32 helpers in 41 home games during the regular season. The veteran has also fired 10 pucks on net across the last two contests. The chances are there.
Game 2 Prop #3: John Carlson Over 0.5 assists
LaCombe isn’t the only Ducks defenseman setting up goals.
Trade-deadline acquisition John Carlson had 46 helpers this season, and 10 in just 16 games after arriving in Anaheim. He’s also been productive in the playoffs, tallying six helpers so far.
Carlson has hit the Over in two straight, and he’s notched five assists over his last five. Many of his helpers this season came on the road as well, compiling 29 in only 35 games. He’s rolling, and Carlson is one of the main playmakers on this second line.
