Game 5 Prop #1: Jalen Chatfield Over 1.5 blocks (-160)

Jalen Chatfield spends more time against top players and sees a higher percentage of defensive zone starts when Rod Brind ‘Amour has the ability to play the matchup game at home. 

That leads to more time defending, more pucks heading towards his net, and more blocked shots.

Chatfield has allowed a defense-high 58.1 attempts per 60 in home playoff games compared to 48.3 per 60 on the road. Uncoincidentally, Chatfield has blocked 5.52 shots per 60 at home and 3.39 on the road.

Play Chatfield to get multiple blocks up to -170.

Game 5 Prop #2: Taylor Hall Over 0.5 points (-125)

I want to ride the Taylor Hall train until the wheels fall off. He continues to be a nightly force for the Carolina Hurricanes, helping them dominate the run of play against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Carolina has controlled better than 68% of the expected goals during Hall’s 5-on-5 minutes. No other player is above 58%. He’s full value for it, leading the way in shot attempts, scoring chances, and sitting tied for first in Grade A opportunities.

Back him to get a point up to -140.

Game 5 Prop #3: Shea Theodore Over 1.5 shots (+100)

Shea Theodore is one of the only Golden Knights players spending time in the offensive zone with any sort of consistency.

Vegas has generated 85 shot attempts with Theodore on the ice at 5-on-5 in this series. No other Golden Knight has been on for even 70.

He’s also quarterbacking the top power play so the usage is ideal for shot-generation. Theodore has made the most of his ice, attempting 23 shots through four games — and at least five each time out.

At plus money for two shots, there’s value in backing the star defenseman. Play to -125.
