The Stanley Cup Final is living up to the hype—and then some. After back-to-back overtime thrillers in Edmonton, the Florida Panthers return home with the series tied 1-1 and a real chance to grab momentum.

Game 3 is set for Monday night at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, and with both teams trading haymakers, this matchup has turned into a star-studded slugfest. The goals are coming fast, the top guys are delivering, and there’s real value to be found in the betting markets heading into a pivotal night.

If the first two games told us anything, it’s that offense is ruling this series. Between Connor McDavid setting up plays and Brad Marchand turning clutch moments into goals, Game 3 is shaping up to be another firework show.One prop that jumps off the board: Leon Draisaitl 2+ points (+128 at bet365). He’s been the model of consistency this postseason. Draisaitl has registered at least one point in 16 of Edmonton’s 18 playoff games and is currently riding a four-game streak of two-point performances. In total, he’s hit this prop in 10 of 18 games. He’s second in the league in playoff points (29), playoff assists (19), and goals (10)—trailing only teammates or Florida stars in each category.

Given how reliable Draisaitl has been throughout the playoffs, any odds longer than -110 offer serious value. At +128, this one’s hard to ignore.

Then there’s the total goals line. The Over 6.5 has hit in both games so far, with 16 goals scored across Games 1 and 2. And it’s not just this series—Edmonton’s previous series against Dallas went over 6.5 in three of five games, and Florida-Carolina hit that same mark in three of five as well.

Over 6.5 goals (+105) looks like the smart play again with how these offenses are rolling.Feeling bold? There’s some value in backing the Panthers on the puck line (-1.5 at +170). Coming off a gritty double-overtime win and now back on home ice, Florida could ride that momentum to a two-goal cushion, especially if the game ends with an empty-netter.This Final is delivering everything fans hoped for—tight games, star performances, and goals galore. With Draisaitl lighting it up and both teams pushing the pace, betting on another high-scoring game and backing Florida’s home-ice edge looks like the best approach for Game 3. Expect another wild one in Sunrise.Also Read: Alfons Freij impresses in pro debut — Winnipeg Jets’ top prospect faces major SHL test next
