Oilers vs Panthers Betting Prediction
Read our Oilers vs Panthers Betting prediction.
I have to get things off my chest first and foremost. The Oilers are -135 favorites in the Stanley Cup Final, which bothers me even if they are behind 0-2 already. Although home-ice advantage is quite significant, it shouldn’t be as significant as a large aircraft.
Now that I’ve got that off my chest, I will still support the Oilers. Why? They’re at home, they’re as eager to head south as a flock of geese when winter arrives, and they’re simply too good to lose three consecutive playoff games, especially with Florida playing at an almost unrivaled level.
Since the Colorado Avalanche swept the Oilers in the 2021–22 Western Conference Final, the team has won three straight playoff games. The Oilers should be able to reset with a change of environment, much like the geese heading south. And with the second-best home record in the regular season (tied with the New York Rangers), what better location to start again than Rogers location?
The Oilers entered the postseason with a 2-2 record, but they have already won four of the previous five games and two straight in the welcoming, boisterous Rogers Place.
Kris Knoblauch and company have an even harder challenge ahead of them because the Panthers have won six of their eight postseason games away from home. But with the final shift, Knoblauch ought to be able to capitalize and help separate Connor McDavid from his relentless and productive shadow, Aleksander Barkov.
That is, if Barkov recovers from his Game 2 injury in time to play in Thursday’s crucial match. If Barkov does play, McDavid will be hoping that the final substitution separates the Oilers captain from his possessor like a masterfully performed exorcism.
Oilers vs Panthers Betting Stats
Here are the most important Oilers vs Panthers Betting stats:
| Statistic (per game) | Oilers at home | Oilers on the road |
|---|---|---|
| Goals scored | 4.00 | 2.55 |
| McDavid points | 2.11 | 1.18 |
| Bouchard points | 2.00 | 0.91 |
| Hyman points | 1.11 | 0.73 |
| Power-play success rate | 38.5% | 28.1% |
In the 2024 playoffs, the Oilers are 6-3 at home and 6-5 away from home. Their home and away records, meanwhile, don’t fairly represent the disparity. Aside from the Game 6 against the Dallas Stars, the Oilers are more daring and free-spirited at home. Notably more productive are Bouchard and McDavid, along with the majority of the Oilers’ forwards.
Even though it might be impossible to overcome the 0–2 series deficit, I think the Oilers will once again show why they are so strong at home. Anticipate Edmonton to put on their greatest game of the Stanley Cup Final so far, which ought to be sufficient to earn them their first championship since 2006.
