Stanley Cup Final prop bet payday: 3 prop bet predictions for Game 6

Highlighting 3 prop bet predictions for Game 6 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche.

The Colorado Avalanche try to hoist the Cup once more against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final Sunday at Amalie Arena in Tampa. Colorado leads the series 3-2. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+).

Below, we list the best value prop bets from Tipico Sportsbook‘s 2022 Stanley Cup Final Game 6 odds and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

Tampa found a way to fight through adversity and force a Game 6. Along the way, we were able to nail a +260 and +100 prop bet in Game 5!

This game is a pick ’em with Tampa short dogs at home. We aren’t going to find a ton of value in this one, but there is still some promise.

Regulation Time Winner (incl. Tie) & Total Goals: Avalanche and Under 5.5 (+410)

There are no boosted props this time (probably because we nailed a +260 and +160 the last 2 games). The last 2 games have ended 3-2, and I’m more sold on an Under 5.5 hitting than an Over 5.5. If the Avs win, and the Under hits, you’re coming away with 4.1 times your wager. So go lightly because I don’t have a ton of confidence in the total, but this is by far your most profitable prop bet for Game 6.

Avalanche Total Goals (Regulation Time): Over 2.5 (-145)

Colorado will have to score 3 goals or more to win this one because Tampa is coming with at least 2. The only question is whether the Avs can do it in regulation, which they failed to do in Game 4. Colorado needs to play with urgency to avoid a Game 7, and this one should cash.

[tipico]

First period, first goal: Avalanche (+122)

If it feels like we’re shoving the Avs down your throat in this one, then you can imagine how much the Avs want to avoid a Game 7 against the best goalie in hockey in Andrei Vasilevskiy. I look for them to fire 10-15 shots on goal in the first, and 1 of them should tickle the twine via a rebound or a screen.

Stanley Cup Final prop bet payday: 3 prop bet predictions for Game 5

Highlighting 3 prop bet predictions for Game 5 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche.

The Tampa Bay Lightning try to stay alive in hostile territory against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final Friday at Ball Arena in Denver. Colorado leads the series 3-1. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+).

Below, we list the best value prop bets from Tipico Sportsbook‘s 2022 Stanley Cup Final Game 5 odds and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

No matter which side of the fence you’re on about the game-winning goal in Wednesday’s 3-2 overtime victory by Colorado, Tampa had opportunities to win Game 4. Now, the Lightning’s backs are against the wall.

Colorado is a huge favorite to win the game, but that presents lanes to find value in contrarian picks.

Survive & advance: Lightning to score first & win: BOOSTED to (+260)

Tampa only scored 1st once in this series (Game 4). However, it’s desperation time. I could see the Lightning come out buzzing in the 1st period and worrying about energy for the 3rd later.

If they score 1st and win, this prop profits 2.6 times your wager.

Lightning total goals in regulation: OVER 2.5 (+100)

Tampa eclipsed this number in half of the games this series. Unless the Lightning want to get blown out of Denver, they’ll need to score 3 or more to keep pace. I could see them netting 2 in the opening period.

This is a solid bet at even-money.

[tipico]

Total goals: OVER 5.5 (-135)

We touched on this in the Game 5 preview story, but this is a glaringly low total. The goal totals from the 4 games are as follows: 7, 7, 8 and 5. Even if Tampa can’t get it done, you have to think the Bolts will score at least a pair to keep it interesting.

Stanley Cup Final prop bet payday: 3 prop bet predictions for Game 4

Highlighting 3 prop bet predictions for Game 4 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Final between the Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Colorado Avalanche try to rebound against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final Wednesday at Amalie Arena in Tampa. Colorado leads the series 2-1. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+).

Below, we list the best value prop bets from Tipico Sportsbook‘s 2022 Stanley Cup Final Game 4 odds and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

Tampa blew out the Avs 6-2 in Game 3, in a game the Avs led 1-0 midway through the 1st period. Colorado temporarily took a 1-0 lead on a challenged goal that was called back due to an offsides. The Avs broke through again on a power-play goal to go up 1-0. But Tampa didn’t panic and erupted for all 6 goals in the next 25 minutes of action. How will Colorado respond?

Light(ning) Up the Night: Lightning to Score 4+ Goals & Win: Yes BOOSTED to (+235)

This is a special, BOOSTED opportunity to more than double up on what we foresee Tampa winning in the range of 4-2 or 4-3. While it’s not a slam dunk, man it has value. Colorado was vastly outplayed and put 2 on the board in Game 3. So Tampa will probably need to net 4 to win again.

I Have the Power!: Nathan MacKinnon to Record 1+ Power Play Points BOOSTED to (+160)

This didn’t hit in Game 1, but both of the Avalanche’s goals were on the power play. They converted 2 of 4 PPs and are absolutely lethal when it comes to the extra man. Go lightly here as the Lightning know they have to limit penalties.

[tipico]

Regulation time winner (incl. tie) and Total Goals: Lightning & Over 5.5 (+310)

As mentioned, you can count on the Avs to score at least 2 goals in the game, and Tampa will have to score 3 or 4 to win. This is a great chance to more than triple up if the Bolts can prevail again. Tampa does not want to go down 3-1 because then this series probably ends in Game 5 in Colorado. Look for the Lightning to storm out with a concerted effort to light the lamp again.

Stanley Cup Final prop bet payday: 3 prop bet predictions for Game 3

Highlighting 3 prop bet predictions for Game 3 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Final between the Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Tampa Bay Lightning try to regroup at home against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final Monday at Amalie Arena in Tampa. Colorado leads the series 2-0 after Saturday’s 7-0 dismemberment. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+).

Below, we list the best value prop bets from Tipico Sportsbook‘s 2022 Stanley Cup Final Game 3 odds and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

Colorado stormed out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st period of Game 1, but Tampa made a late push to tie it at 3 and send it to overtime. Tampa still hasn’t arrived for the opening faceoff in OT because they’ve been destroyed 8-0 since.

Stanley Cup Final prop bets for Game 3

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated 11:39 a.m. ET.

Alternate Total Goals: Under 6.5 (-165)

Tampa has been a different team at home, and they are very stingy on the score sheet. At the same time, they haven’t played anyone as good as Colorado. They will have to keep the Avs to 3 goals or fewer, maybe 2, in order to prevail in this one. I could see a 3-2 finish, but this one gives wiggle room for a 4-2 final. It’s chalky, but this is the only way Tampa makes it a series.

Lightning Total Goals (Regulation Time): Over 2.5 (-135)

This one will be close because I could totally see Tampa needing overtime to get the win. The Lightning can get past G Darcy Kuemper. They nailed 3 goals in the first 2 periods of Game 1. Back on home ice and away from the altitude in Denver, the 2-time defending champs find their game.

[tipico]

Avalanche Total Goals (Regulation Time): Under 2.5 (+115)

Keeping in the Tampa wins 3-2, 4-2 theme, this one has the best value. Lightning G Andrei Vasilevskiy is the most competitive guy in the building. Even the announcers thought he would be pulled following a 5-0 deficit in Game 2 after 2 periods. He didn’t leave. After that shellacking, he’s going to have a game to remember.

Stanley Cup Final prop bet payday: 3 prop bet predictions for Game 2

Highlighting 3 prop bet predictions for Game 2 of the 2022 Stanly Cup Final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche.

The Tampa Bay Lightning try to even the series against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final Saturday at Ball Arena in Denver. Colorado leads the series 1-0. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+).

Below, we list the best value prop bets from Tipico Sportsbook‘s 2022 Stanley Cup Final Game 2 odds and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

Colorado stormed out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st period of Game 1, but Tampa made a late push to tie it at 3 and send it to overtime. However, the Avalanche were too much. This series will be a back-and-forth battle.

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated 8:57 a.m. ET.

1st Period 1st Goal: Lightning (+140)

Colorado’s speed shellshocked Tampa Bay in Game 1 as the visitors had trouble adjusting to the thin Mile High air. A lesser team would have folded, but the 2-time defending champs turned up the heat and matched them. Look for the Lightning to force the tempo early and light the lamp first Saturday.

Regulation Time Winner (incl. Tie) & Total Goals: Avalanche & Over 5.5 (+230)

We took this in Game 1 and it almost cashed, but Colorado needed a couple of minutes in OT to get it done. Tampa could steal this game, but Colorado has the biggest home-ice advantage in hockey in terms of conditioning coming into question. If you’re not used to the altitude your lungs are burning after your first shift. It’s enough to deal with a super-talented Avs team without the physical toll. I see this as a 4-2 game, and this wager looks good at more than double your money.

[tipico]

Regulation Time Winner (incl. Tie): Avalanche (+102)

Colorado will be ready to counterpunch. The Avalanche might have gotten a little complacent in Game 1 with an early 2-0 lead. I look for Tampa to score early before Colorado hits its stride and forces Tampa to make mistakes. Colorado has a lethal power play, and that’s when it’ll bite down harder. I don’t see overtime needed in this one.

Stanley Cup Final prop bet payday: 4 prop bet predictions for Game 1

Highlighting 4 prop bet predictions for Game 1 of the 2022 Stanly Cup Final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Colorado Avalanche.

The Tampa Bay Lightning throw down against the Colorado Avalanche in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals Wednesday at Ball Arena in Denver. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+).

Below, we list the best value prop bets from Tipico Sportsbook‘s 2022 Stanley Cup Final Game 1 odds and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

The Lightning are flirting with history trying to become the first team to threepeat since the New York Islanders won from 1980-84. Colorado, the heavy favorite, has an infusion of young talent that appears ready to hoist the Cup and start a dynasty of its own.

Stanley Cup Final prop bets for Game 1

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated 12:13 p.m. ET.

Starting off Game 1 HOT: Nathan MacKinnon & Steven Stamkos to both score BOOSTED (+500)

Stamkos scored 5 goals in the Eastern Conference Finals and netted a goal in 4 of 6 games. The Lightning scored 31 goals in the series, and Stamkos accounted for 31% of them. He also scored 1 goal in 2 games against Colorado in the regular season. There’s a lot to like on his side of this wager. MacKinnon had a tough series against the St. Louis Blues as he scored in 1 of 6 games, but he scored in 7 of the 8 games in the other two series. He had 1 goal and 2 assists against Tampa in the 3rd game of the regular season. This is a solid bet where $10 can return $50.

Conn Smyth Trophy Winner – Nathan MacKinnon (+210)

Avs D Cale Makar (+180) is the favorite, and he has 4 more points than MacKinnon in the playoffs. However, MacKinnon has had more impactful moments. That goal he scored, coast to coast, to tie the game against the St. Louis Blues in Game 5 would have been iconic if they hadn’t lost that game. MacKinnon has the ability to put the team on his back, whereas Makar is a super-gifted player that just pitches in more often than most. If the Avs win, it’s because of the playmaking and game-breaking ability of MacKinnon.

[tipico]

Colorado Wins Series 4-2 (+425)

Barring injury, Tampa doesn’t have enough offensively to beat the Avs, and they’ll expend so much energy defensively trying to contain them it will prove too much. That said, Tampa has lost only once on home ice in the playoffs. They will lose another, maybe in Game 6 to decide it. If you want to hedge and put a wager on Colorado Wins Series 4-1 (+380) for some leeway, you’ll still be ahead if either of them cash.

Avalanche (in regulation) & Over 5.5 (+230)

Our Kevin Erickson pegged this a 4-3 Avs win, and that seems pretty reasonable. Colorado is the highest-scoring offense in the playoffs at nearly 5 goals per game, but it has had a lengthy layoff as well and will face its biggest task in Lightning G Andrei Vasilevskiy. We should see 6 goals and an Avs win in Game 1.
