The NHL's Stanley Cup Finals resume this Thursday night with Game 5 of the best-of-seven showdown between the Washington Capitals and the Vegas Golden Knights. Game time from T-Mobile Arena is set for 8 p.m. on NBC with Vegas listed as a -140 home favorite. The total line for this game at BetAnySports set at 5.5 goals.
The Golden Knights started this series as clear favorites to win a NHL title in their first season in the league as an expansion team. Four games later, the Capitals are in the driver seat with a 3-1 series lead and in position to lay claim to their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.
Washington actually lost the series opener 6-4 as a -135 underdog on the road before reeling off three-straight victories by a combined score of 12-5. I had the Golden Knights winning this series in seven games and while that could still be the case, all the momentum is riding on a Capitals' team that has played its best hockey this postseason on the road.
