EDMONTON – When the Edmonton Oilers had their backs on the wall, their team captain Connor McDavid stepped up and kept their season alive. Despite being down 3-2 in the Stanley Cup Final, McDavid is now the legal sports betting favorite to win the Conn Smythe Trophy after back-to-back games with four points.

Facing elimination down 3-0, McDavid sparked a dominant 8-1 Game 4 victory with three assists and a goal. Edmonton stole another game after McDavid posted two goals and two assists in Game 5, bringing Game 6 back to Edmonton.

Connor McDavid -225
Aleksander Barkov +310
Sergei Bobrovsky +750

Panthers’ goalie Sergei Bobrovsky was a heavy favorite with -200 odds to win the Conn Smythe Trophy heading into Game 3 of the series, but now legal NHL betting sites favor McDavid at -225. Bobrovsky held the Oilers to one goal in the first two games of the series, but he’s allowed nine goals in the last two games.

Edmonton Favored To Force Game 7 At Home

After falling down 3-0, the Oilers are favored to win Game 6 with -125 odds and even the series at 3-3. The Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team in NHL history to come back from down 3-0, which happened 82 years ago.
