Panthers C Sam Bennett (+1400)

Sam Bennett has been a standout player for Florida during the playoffs. In the last ten games, he has averaged 4.0 SOG, so it is safe to say he has been accurate when attacking the net.

Although he is only averaging 0.6 points in his last 10 games, the Panthers center has notched a career-high 11 points in these playoffs. That is well above his previous playoff average of 4.5 points in six former playoff appearances.

If the Panthers strike first, there’s a good chance Bennett or Aleksander Barkov are involved. The +1400 odds on Bennett look great here.
