Vegas Golden Knights at Florida Panthers Game 3 Betting Preview

The Vegas Golden Knights will travel to Florida on Thursday for the third game of the Stanley Cup. Vegas currently leads 2-0 as they’ve played exceptional hockey throughout the first two games of the Cup. With a 5-2 win in game one and a 7-2 win in game two, it’s tough to imagine that the Panthers are going to be able to bounce back and find a way to win this series.

However, we’ve seen them play well throughout the entire playoffs, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see them win on their home ice in the next two games.

For Florida, it’s going to be taking it game by game, and that’s exactly what a veteran team like this can and will do. The sportsbooks believe that they’re going to bounce back in game three as they come in at -120 on the moneyline and +210 on the puck line. The over/under is going to be slotted at 6, which has hit in each game.

Can Florida Win Game Three?

The Florida Panthers weren’t supposed to be here, according to most coming into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, they’ve shown the will to win games when their back are up against the wall, and that’s why they can’t be counted out just yet. They ended up beating the Boston Bruins in the first round after being down 3-1 and then went into Toronto and nearly swept the Maple Leafs.

This is going to be one of the toughest tasks that Florida’s had to deal with in the playoffs, but if they can do what they did against the Bruins and a sweep over the Carolina Hurricanes, it’s easy to see that this team can win four games in this series, as well.

It’s all going to start with what they can do in the back of the net. Sergei Bobrovsky was playing well coming into this series but hasn’t necessarily done much for Florida in the first two games. He’s going to be the reason why they do or don’t win this series.

Golden Knights Can Put Themselves In A Good Position

The Golden Knights have been playing exceptional hockey throughout the entire playoffs and have proven to the Panthers and fans all around the world that they might be the best team in the league. With a 2-0 lead in the first two games of the Stanley Cup, Vegas is in a prime position to win it all. They did so by beating some tough teams on the way, including the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars.

Their feet can’t come off the gas here, and that’s something that they haven’t done all year. When they went up 3-0 against Dallas, they allowed Dallas to win the next two games. If they allow Florida to do something similar, they’re going to find themselves in a much different position than they’re currently in.
