Over 5.5 goals in full event
The Charlotte Checkers are dominating their AHL Eastern Conference Finals series against the Laval Rocket, leading 3-0 after three consecutive blowout wins (5-1, 5-2, and 5-1). Charlotte’s offense is firing on all cylinders, with John Leonard, Riley Bezeau, and Will Lockwood among the key contributors, and Kaapo Kähkönen providing stellar goaltending with a 1.78 GAA and .925 save percentage. The Checkers have outscored their playoff opponents 42-19 in 11 games and have won their last five home games against Laval. Laval, despite being the regular season’s top team, has struggled in this series, losing five of their last seven games and frequently changing goalies due to poor defensive performances. The Rocket’s top players, like Alex Barre-Boulet, have been largely contained, and their penalty issues have been costly.
