Here are three of the best NHL player prop bets for the Panthers-Golden Knights game, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Panthers vs Golden Knights Game 2 Player Props

1. Mark Stone - Anytime Goal Scorer (+210)

It's safe to say Mark Stone is motivated to win not only the first Stanley Cup in Golden Knights history but also the first Stanley Cup in his career. He came out firing in Game 1 with 7 shots on goal and provided a highlight reel play with his goal in the third period. The 31-year-old has now found the back of the net in six of Vegas' last nine games inside T-Mobile Arena as he seemingly plays off the crowd's energy. Stone also saw his highest time on ice mark (20:55) on Saturday since Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals, making this prop bet worth a shot.

2. Alex Pietrangelo - Blocked Shots: Under 2.5 (-108)

The name Alex Pietrangelo isn't going to stick out to many people outside of Vegas because he didn't notch a point in Game 1. However, he made his presence felt with 4 blocked shots, which was tied for the highest mark on the team. While it was an outstanding effort, it was one that is not often seen from the Golden Knights defenseman. Pietrangelo had not tallied more than 2 blocked shots in seven of his eight games prior to Saturday night and the lone time that he did was in an overtime contest. Asking him to replicate the performance he had in Game 1 is a bit too much here.

3. Anton Lundell - Shots on Goal: Over 1.5 (-152)

Expect the Panthers to play with urgency from the opening puck drop on Monday considering going down 0-2 would be devastating to their title hopes. That bodes well for Anton Lundell's offensive role as he should be trusted to keep firing at the net. Lundell has racked up at least 2 shots on goal in 11 of Florida's 17 postseason games and is coming off a Game 1 in which he tied a playoff-high mark with 4 shots on goal. This is a prop bet that could cash before the third period starts as long as Lundell remains aggressive under head coach Paul Maruice's guidance.
