Florida Panthers Breakdown:

The Panthers are surging offensively, averaging 4.2 goals per game over their last four playoff outings. Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett continue to lead a deep Florida attack, while Sergei Bobrovsky has shown just enough in net despite a drop in save percentage.

  • Sam Reinhart: 8 playoff goals

  • Sergei Bobrovsky: .902 SV%, 2.37 GAA in playoffs

Edmonton Oilers Breakdown:

The Oilers are in top form with their offense firing on all cylinders, scoring 19 goals during their current 4-game win streak. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl continue to shine, and Edmonton’s depth scoring has come alive. Defensively, they’ve tightened up significantly, allowing just 5 goals over their last 4. Stuart Skinner hasn't been dominant, but the defense has made his job easier by limiting shots and rebounds.

Key Players:

  • Connor McDavid: 23 points in playoffs

  • Zach Hyman: 11 playoff goals

  • Stuart Skinner: .888 SV%, 2.85 GAA in playoffs

Our Best Bet:

Oilers ML (-120)

Edmonton has been untouchable at home and comes in with the sharper offense and a deeper scoring core right now. Florida’s defense has held up, but they haven’t faced an attack as potent as the Oilers. McDavid and company are playing with pace and confidence, and that should carry them to a Game 1 win on home ice.
