Brad Marchand over 0.5 assists (+105)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
To set the stage for this pivotal Game 6, it’s worth noting how these franchises have performed heading into this series. Last season, the Leafs won their first playoff series since 2004. Meanwhile, the Bruins were unable to live up to their record-setting season by getting eliminated in the first round after having a 3-1 series lead.
That’s what they’re looking to avoid blowing yet again, and it’s new captain Brad Marchand that should help them advance. There were doubts for the team after Patrice Bergeron retired in the offseason, but Boston has had another stellar season. They defeated Toronto all 4 times in the regular season, where Marchand excelled. In those meetings, the ‘pest’ recorded 4 assists and 5 total points.
That success has continued in this series, as Marchand has recorded 8 points through the 5 games thus far, and 5 of them have been assists. We know that linemate David Pastrnak loves to shoot the puck, which means more opportunities for Marchand. Therefore, our best NHL prop bet pick for today is Brad Marchand to record an assist.
