Is it the end of the road for the upstart Montreal Canadiens, or can they extend the series when they face the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., during tonight's Game 5 at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN)?

Our Canadiens vs. Capitals player props and NHL picks expect the home favorites to end the series, so we're featuring three Caps, including Alex Ovechkin, Dylan Strome, and Anthony Beauvillier.

๐Ÿšจ Dylan Strome Over 0.5 assists โญโญโญโญโญ

Please tell me by now you've been tailing my Strome assist props. The man is walking ATM that doesn't require a card or PIN.

He assisted Andrew Mangiapane's late game-winner in Game 4 and has set up on all Ovechkin goals thus far. Strome has five assists in four games, notching at least one helper in three of four games. 

He's the maestro on the power play, always keen to find the Great 8 for his hallmark one-timer. DraftKings and bet365 offer the longest odds of our best sports betting sites, where a winning $10 bet will profit $9.09. 

๐Ÿ’ฐ Best odds: -110 via DraftKings

๐Ÿšจ Alex Ovechkin anytime goal โญโญโญโญ

A potential series clincher offers the idyll platform for the Great 8 to be the hero. He did it in Game 1 and, despite being eight years older, is playing with the kind of confidence and swagger he had in the Caps' Cup run. Ovechkin has three goals in the series, scoring two in Game 1 and one in Game 3.

The greatest goal-scorer of all time didn't attend practice on Tuesday, gaining all the rest he can for what he hopes will be a final Round 1 push. Most of our best sports betting apps offer +110 odds for the Great 8 to light the lamp, where a $10 bet will profit $11.

๐Ÿšจ Anthony Beauvillier Over 0.5 points โญโญโญ

I was tempted to pull the trigger on the Lane Hutson assist prop. It's still an excellent pick, but I've chosen the higher-value situational pick. 

Beauvillier is playing some of the best hockey of his career and has been rewarded, scoring five points in four games thus far. He has at least one point in every game despite playing just 11:48 of Game 4. He'll be on the ice in pivotal moments because he's earned it, and I feel another point is forthcoming. 

You can snag +150 odds, which would profit $15 on a $10 bet.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Best odds: +150 via bet365
