Carter Hart has conceded at least four goals in each of the first five games in what has been a very high-scoring series.

With Hart bleeding goals, I am leaning towards Carolina players with my Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights goal scorer predictions.
Let’s break down my NHL picks for Game 6.

Goal scorer pick: Taylor Hall +335
Taylor Hall leads the Carolina Hurricanes in this series with 37 shot attempts at 5-on-5 and ranks second to Jordan Staal in scoring chances.
His 5-on-5 prowess is especially important tonight. Refs tend to put whistles away in elimination games, which leads to less special teams and more full-strength hockey.
Hall has been Carolina’s best shot-generator throughout the entire playoffs, and the edge is even more decisive on the road, where Sebastian Aho’s line tends to draw the toughest matchups.

I see value in backing Hall to +310.
Goal scorer pick: Seth Jarvis (+215)
Rod Brind ‘Amour has given Seth Jarvis more ice time than any other forward in this series. He’s playing a lot at 5-on-5, he’s featured on both special teams units, and he is defending leads late.
That kind of usage makes him a scoring threat regardless of the game circumstances. Even if Carolina is conservative while playing from ahead, Jarvis will be among those first over the boards in empty-net situations.
He is also a prime regression candidate. He has converted 47 scoring chances and 6.16 expected goals into just four goals these playoffs.

With Carter Hart struggling to find his game, and Jarvis seeing top-tier usage, he’s someone I want to get behind.
Bet to +200.
Goal scorer pick: Jack Eichel (+215)
Jack Eichel hasn’t scored in the Stanley Cup Final but it’s not for a lack of opportunities. He has taken 25 shot attempts and generated 14 scoring chances, ranking him near the top of the Vegas Golden Knights in both categories.
He also leads the team in offensive zone faceoffs and percentage of draws taken in the offensive zone. John Tortorella is doing his best to put Eichel in good spots to produce.
Eichel has scored on only 4% of his shots in the playoffs after finishing at a 10.38% rate during the regular season.

There’s no better time for him to break through than in a do-or-die Game 6. I’d play Eichel to +200.
