Betway starting goalie bet of the day: Bet on Stuart Skinner to face a lot of rubber against the desperate Vegas Golden Knights

Welcome back to Betway Bets of the Day brought to you by NHL betting odds site Betway!  

The Florida Panthers continue to roll their way through the 2023 playoffs, taking a commanding 3-0 lead over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sam Reinhart’s early overtime winner gave the Panthers their sixth straight win.

For the Maple Leafs to join the 2010 Flyers and 2014 Kings as teams that came back from a 3-0 deficient in recent memory, their core four players in John Tavares, William Nylander, Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews must start producing. The four stars have combined for zero goals in this series. 

In Newark, the Devils won a surprising high scoring 8-4 affair against the Hurricanes, Jack Hughes earned first star honors scoring four points. Carolina still leads the series 2-1. Game three will take place Tuesday in Newark. 

On the west coast the Seattle Kraken blew out the Dallas Stars 7-2, Philipp Grubauer made 24 saves on 26 shots and was named second star of the game. With the win the Kraken took a 2-1 series lead, game six will also take place on Tuesday. 

Edmonton returns home to look to take a 2-1 series lead over the Vegas Golden Knights in the only game on schedule Monday, here is a goalie bet I like for tonight’s game. 

Player Prop

Stuart Skinner to make over 26.5 saves at -120. 

During the regular season Edmonton finished 18th in the league in shots again, allowing 31.4 per game. They’re not a good shot-suppressing team and you can expect Vegas to put up a much better performance than they did in their blow out 7-2 loss on Saturday.  

In their two road games against Winnipeg, the Golden Knights averaged 39 shots a game, I like them to put a lot of pucks on Stuart Skinner tonight. 

Last Game Bet

Sergei Bobrovsky to make over 29.5 saves at -125.  

Toronto did not play with nearly the same desperation as expected and only mustered 24 shots on the Florida goaltender, thus we did not hit. Our record is now 6-4 for the playoffs.
