Sharps are already betting Saturday's NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 1, during which the Florida Panthers will take on the Vegas Golden Knights.

It took about 1,000 bet slips to roll through our NHL betting data this week for the sharp-action and big-money tools to light up with a Game 1 pick for Panthers vs. Golden Knights.
