TOTAL
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the total for Game 5 is set at five goals.
The under has hit just once this series – Game 2 – with the over cashing in Games 1 and 3, with Monday night’s 3-2 overtime final pushing the number.
Carey Price has faced elimination four times this postseason, and has allowed just eight goals in those games.
Meanwhile, Andrei Vasilevskiy has played in six series-clinching games this year and is 3-3 with a 1.66 goals against average.

Nikita Kucherov is once again the odds on favourite to score a goal in Game 5 Wednesday night.
The Russian enters at +138 to score, with Brayden Point (+143) and Steven Stamkos (+170) not far behind.
Meanwhile, the winger is -240 to record a point tonight and can be nabbed at +165 to be held off the scoresheet.
Nick Suzuki enters at -118 to record a point, with fellow teammates Cole Caufield (+100) and Josh Anderson (+165) as underdogs to register a point.
Anderson, on the heels of his two-goal performance, is +330 to find the back of the net and +19000 to score multiple times.
