Through two games, it's been a fairly one-sided Stanley Cup Final and now the setting turns to FLA Live Arena where Paul Maurice and the Florida Panthers have to adjust to the Vegas Golden Knights and their 2-0 series lead. 
With the Cats on the ropes, winning the Corsi battle, and returning home where they fire a ton of shots on net, is this the best matchup for the league’s best shot-blockers in the Golden Knights?
I break it all down in my NHL betting picks for Golden Knights vs. Panthers below.

The Vegas Golden Knights led all teams during the regular season in blocked shots at 17.93 per 60 minutes. In the postseason, those numbers have jumped to 18.63 per 60 which also paces all playoff teams. Aiding these block numbers is a team that has also posted the worst Corsi% of all 16 postseason squads. 
Vegas is happy giving up low-quality shots from the outside, which their elite blue line is happy to step in front of. In this series alone, the Knights’ defense has blocked 27 shots through two games, or 73% of the team’s blocked shots. 
The beautiful thing about the Golden Knights is they run all six defensemen at roughly the same rate as Alex Pietrangelo leads blueliners with 21:18 time on ice per game in the series while the fifth-most used rearguard, Zach Whitecloud, has been playing 18:50 per game in the series.  Nicolas Hague and Zach Whitecloud are D-partners who also play on the second penalty-kill unit, which is important as bettors could see more penalties in Game 3 after what transpired on Monday. With the Knights scoring four power-play goals so far in the series, it wouldn't surprise me if the Florida Panthers had their fair chances with the man advantage on Thursday night. 
Whitecloud is the better value of the two at Over 1.5 blocked shots at -150 but putting the two Over 1.5 blocked shots together at +180 equates to true odds in the SGP. This is also the better avenue as the scoring for this metric isn't 100% accurate and laying juice is a little more worrisome.  
Making this a high-volume shot-block game is that the Panthers throw a ton of shots toward the net at home and finished the regular season with the third-highest home Corsi and second-highest home Fenwick. Vegas has also played with the lead for the majority of this series and blocked-shot chances increase when defending a lead.  
Vegas blocks more shots than anyone, plays its defense at roughly the same minutes, and now goes on the road vs. an opponent that shoots a lot on home ice. This is an optimal shot-blocking matchup and the potential for Florida power plays makes it even better.  My best bet: Whitecloud + Hague Over 1.5 blocked shots (+180 at bet365)  Golden Knights vs Panthers Game 3 same-game parlay Zach Whitecloud Over 1.5 blocked shots (-150) Golden Knights ML (+100) Over 5.5 (-150) First things first here, bettors are getting pretty much true odds with this SGP and not losing any value with multipliers. 
Whitecloud has the best value of all the Vegas players with a blocked shot market and will see nearly 20 minutes, gets PK2 time, and faces a team that shoots more at home than the majority of teams in the league.
Vegas could get shorter than EVEN money and the market is already moving its way. The Vegas blueline is making life difficult for the...
