Tuukka Rask (-160) has been the favorite amongst all players and some professional analysts have even called for giving him the trophy if the Bruins end up losing the series.
Bruins such as Brad Marchand (+600) or Charlie Coyle (+4000) have a solid chance as well but will need a major Game 7 as well as Rask to allow a few extra goals.
On the Blues side, USAOnlineSportsbooks.com feels it comes down to Ryan O’Reilly. O’Reilly has been nothing short of spectacular this series. He has led his team throughout the Finals in goals scored (4), points (7), and plus/minus (+3) as a first-year member of the St. Louis Blues.
The puck for the 17th NHL Stanley Cup Game 7 will drop in Boston on Wednesday at 8 PM EST – the first time since Boston beat the Canucks 4-0 in 2011.
