Previous Games:

  • Game 4: Oilers won 5-4 (comeback from 3-goal deficit)

  • Series: Tied 2-2

Head-to-Head:

Despite Florida winning 5 of the last 7 matchups against Edmonton, the Oilers’ resilience was on full display in Game 4. Edmonton now returns home with momentum and has won 4 of their last 5 at Rogers Place. Both teams have shown firepower, but the edge now leans toward the Oilers with home ice and offensive rhythm in their favor.

Florida Panthers Breakdown:

Florida has been lethal offensively, averaging 4.5 goals per game over their last 10, but their defensive structure unraveled in Game 4. Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Bennett, and Carter Verhaeghe continue to pace a deep forward group, while Sergei Bobrovsky holds a 2.10 GAA and .924 SV%. However, the Panthers’ penalty trouble (6.2 per game recently) and inability to close out leads raise concerns, especially in a hostile road environment.

Key Players:

  • Matthew Tkachuk: 21 playoff points (14 assists)

  • Sam Bennett: 14 goals, 21 points

  • Sergei Bobrovsky: .924 SV%, 2.10 GAA

Edmonton Oilers Breakdown:

The Oilers exploded in the final two periods of Game 4, proving again that no lead is safe when Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are on the ice. Both superstars have 32 points this postseason, with Evan Bouchard and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins providing additional scoring depth. While Stuart Skinner (2.62 GAA, .904 SV%) isn’t elite, Edmonton thrives in chaotic, high-octane games—especially at home where their offense ignites.

Key Players:

  • Leon Draisaitl: 11 goals, 32 points

  • Connor McDavid: 26 assists, 32 points

  • Evan Bouchard: 22 points from the blue line
