Game 6 Prop #1: Jack Eichel Over 0.5 assists

-160 at BET99

Jack Eichel has been killing it this postseason for the Vegas Golden Knights. After leading the team in 2025-26 with 63 assists, he's notched 14 helpers in the playoffs, which is also first on the Golden Knights roster.

Eichel has cashed the Over in assists in four straight games, and he has four helpers across Games 4 and 5 combined. 

The veteran was a key factor on Tuesday, setting up two of the Golden Knights' three goals. He's also notched 10 SOG across his last three contests.

Opportunities continue to present themselves for Eichel, and he's skating alongside the red-hot Pavel Dorofeyev, who cannot be stopped right now. 

Game 6 Prop #2: Cutter Gauthier Over 0.5 assists

+175 at BET99

The Anaheim Ducks may be on the brink of elimination, but Cutter Gauthier is certainly doing all that he can to keep his squad alive.

The youngster has five of his eight playoff assists across the last two contests. He tallied a pair of helpers in the heartbreaking Game 5 loss, and he also had his hand in three of Anaheim's four goals in Game 4. 

Gauthier also had four SOG in each of the last two games, and he's been important in generating opportunities for the red-hot Beckett Sennecke on the power play.

Sennecke scored with the man advantage in Game 5 thanks to a helper from Gauthier, and his line also scored Anaheim's second goal of the contest. Gauthier's line — on even strength and the power play — has netted five of the last six goals for the Ducks, with Gauthier assisting on all five.

Game 6 Prop #3: Pavel Dorofeyev Over 2.5 shots on goal

-125 at BET99

Dorofeyev played hero for the Golden Knights in Game 5, scoring the OT winner thanks to an apple from Eichel.

The Russian has three goals across his last two games, and he's cashed the Over in SOG in back-to-back outings. Dorofeyev put four pucks on net in Game 4, and another four in Game 5.

Dorofeyev is averaging 2.63 SOG per contest in these playoffs, and his confidence is sky-high right now after a two-goal performance on Tuesday. That also means Vegas will be looking to get him the puck as much as possible, and playing alongside an elite playmaker like Eichel only strengthens this play.
