Connor McDavid Anytime Goal Scorer (+170)
Despite scoring just two goals in the series, Connor McDavid remains a focal point of the Oilers’ attack and bettors’ slips. McDavid netted 26 goals during the regular season and has five in these playoffs, averaging 23:27 of ice time per game. His speed, vision, and unmatched playmaking make him a threat on every shift, and at +170, his anytime goal price remains enticing in a potential series-clinching scenario.

Leon Draisaitl Anytime Goal Scorer (+135)
Leon Draisaitl continues to be one of the most feared finishers in hockey, and the public is backing him to light the lamp again in Game 5. The German superstar led the NHL with 52 goals during the regular season and has added seven more in this postseason, including two in this series. Draisaitl’s presence on the power play and ability to score from various angles make him a near-constant scoring threat, especially as the Oilers look to close things out on the road.
Mikko Rantanen Anytime Goalscorer (+160)
Dallas fans and bettors are counting on Mikko Rantanen to keep the Stars alive. He finished the regular season with 32 goals and currently leads the Stars—and ranks among league leaders—with nine playoff goals. Rantanen has been a consistent producer under pressure, and with the Stars in a must-win spot, bettors expect their top sniper to be heavily involved in Game 5. The +160 tag reflects his elite touch and pivotal offensive role.
No Goal in 1st 10 Minutes (+125)
The early scoring droughts in this series haven’t gone unnoticed, and the “No Goal in First 10 Minutes” prop has become a popular public play. Three of the four games in the series have remained scoreless past the 10-minute mark, including Game 3’s first goal at 14:02 and Game 4’s opener at 11:23. With both teams emphasizing structure and limiting odd-man rushes early, it’s no surprise that bettors are favoring a slow start once again at plus-money.
Connor McDavid 1st Goal Scorer (+1100)
While McDavid hasn’t scored the opening goal in any playoff game this year, that hasn’t stopped bettors from jumping on the long odds in Game 5. Listed at +1100, McDavid to score first is one of the most bet props ahead of Thursday’s matchup. Given his league-leading playoff point total and elite offensive toolkit, bettors are wagering that his first-strike moment could come in the most high-leverage game of the postseason so far.
