The current betting odds have the Golden Knights listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 5 of a 7-game series between the Eastern Conference Champion Panthers and the Western Conference Champion Golden Knights for the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. The Golden Knights are entering this game with a 3-1 series lead after splitting their 2 road games in Florida in this series. The Golden Knights now travel back home where they already swept the Panthers in their 2 games there and have a chance to end the series with a win and win the Stanley Cup in this game. It is very tough to close out a series but the Panthers just haven't looked good in any of these games after being so hot for so long in the playoffs and it seems like they have finally run out of gas as even their goaltending which was keeping them in game is starting to fade now. The Panthers have also had a big issue with scoring goals in this series and they are not going to have the offensive power to compete with the Golden Knights on the road in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Golden Knights to win this game and end the series 4-1.
