It's down to a best-of-three in the Eastern Conference Final between the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers at Madison Square Garden tonight, and with overtime hitting in three straight games, another tight, low-scoring affair is likely on deck for Thursday evening.
Just because expected goals are low, that doesn't mean there isn't a solid SGP out there to build. That's what I'm doing here with a +750 NHL picks parlay that will be getting some pizza money from me on Thursday night.

Best Panthers vs Rangers SGP for Thursday
Mika Zibanejad Under 0.5 points
Chris Kreider Under 0.5 points
Sam Bennett 2+ SOG
Alexis Lafreniere 2+ SOG
I'm doubling up on Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad's Under points as the linemates have yet to find the scoresheet in the series and the lack of patience from New York Rangers fans is becoming very vocal. I haven't seen anything from this line in this series as the Florida Panthers have had no issues matching up vs. the Rangers' second line. The longer this series goes, the bigger advantage the more physical Panthers have.
The New York power play has also not looked great in this series, going 1-for-11 through four games. Additionally, the longer this series goes, the fewer man-advantage opportunities will exist on both sides, which is working against the second line that has not looked good at 5-on-5.
The 2+ SOG adds move this SGP from +320 to +750, which is a giant move on the players who have a 2.5 SOG total. Sam Bennett will have his DNA all over this game as things will be physical, and his move to the second line with Matthew Tkachuk will facilitate some shooting chances as the Rangers will likely use their best resources to slow down the Aleksander Barkov line.
Alexis Lafreniere has been the best forward on the Rangers in this series and has three goals over his last two games. He has also hit the 2+ SOG mark in all but one game over the last two series. With fewer power plays projected, he could also see more time on ice tonight.
