Panthers vs Oilers Game Prediction:

Puck Line: Edmonton Oilers +1.5
Over/Under Prediction: Under 6.5 Total Goals
Final Score Projection: Florida Panthers 4, Edmonton Oilers 2

While this series has been closely matched so far, Florida’s home advantage and scoring depth could make the difference in Game 3.

One standout performer so far is Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard, who has impressively tallied 15 shots on goal across the first two games—seven in the opener and eight in Game 2. Edmonton’s strategy of activating defensemen in offensive play has benefited Bouchard greatly, making him a top pick for prop bets focused on shots.

This series could hardly be tighter. At even strength (5-on-5), the expected goal differential is practically dead even—+0.01 in favor of Edmonton. Overall, the Oilers edge slightly in total expected goals per 60 minutes at +0.76. With such razor-thin margins, betting on the underdog may be a sound strategy throughout this series.

  • Florida has seen games go over the 6.5 total mark 42 times this season.
  • Edmonton has surpassed that same total in 47 games.
  • Combined, both teams average 6.2 goals per game—slightly below Monday’s over/under.
  • Defensively, they allow 5.6 goals per game between them.
  • Florida holds a 48-31 record as moneyline favorites.
