With the NY Rangers winning the previous two games of this series in overtime, this is the Florida Panthers’ last chance on home ice to even up the series before they head back to the Big Apple, where they could be playing to stay in the Playoffs should they fail to win tonight.
Looking at tonight’s game, we believe Matthew Tkachuk is a super bet at the top sportsbooks to go over his shots total line in this must-win game for Florida.

NHL Pick: Matthew Tkachuk Over 3.5 Shots (+100) at Bet365
New York Rangers vs. Florida Panthers
Tuesday, May 28, 2024 – 08:00 PM ET at Amerant Bank Arena
Betting Trends
- Matthew Tkachuk has averaged 3.8 shots per game throughout the playoffs (4th most overall)
- Tkachuk has had 4+ shots in 8 of his 14 playoff games thus far this season.
Seven Shots, No Joy for Tkachuk
The previous game Florida lost 5-4 in overtime saw Matthew Tkachuk take 7 shots on the night with no joy in front of the net. This was a nice comeback in the shooting department considering that in the first two games of the series, Tkachuk only had 1 shot in both games respectively.
Prior to both those one-shot games, Tkachuk had seen 4+ shots in 7 of 11 games and ended with three shots on a further two occasions.
The Pick
This really is a must-win game for Florida. With it all on the line, we like the NHL odds on Tkachuk to see 4+ shots for the second game in a row in this series. He suffered on the road with just two shots in the first two games but more than made up for it with seven last time out.
On the road this postseason, Tkachuk has averaged 3.4 shots per game compared to 4.1 when on home ice.
