The Stanley Cup Final moves to Edmonton for Game 3, and the Oilers need a win to stay in the series against the Panthers. Edmonton is down 2-0 after losing Game 2, 4-1, despite scoring first. The Panthers scored three goals in the third period to seal the victory. Only two teams have come back from 2-0 down to win the Stanley Cup, with the last being the Boston Bruins in 2011.
If the Oilers lose Game 3, they’ll have to make history to win the Cup, as only one team, the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit.
Spread: Oilers -1.5 (+205) vs. Panthers +1.5 (-235)
Analysis:
- Game 2 Recap: The Oilers started strong but were outplayed, especially in the third period. The Panthers had 22 shots on goal compared to Edmonton’s seven over the first 40 minutes.
- Home Ice Advantage: Playing at home gives the Oilers a big boost. They know they must win to avoid going down 0-3.
- Key Players: Expect stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to lead the way for Edmonton.
With the home crowd and urgency, betting on the Oilers to win by more than one goal (+205 odds) offers good value. Edmonton needs a big win to change the series momentum, and this game is their best chance.
Prediction: Oilers -1.5 (+205)
Moneyline: Oilers vs. Panthers
Betting on the Oilers to win straight up is safer, but betting on them to win by more than one goal offers a better return.
Summary:
- Spread Bet: Betting on the Oilers to win by more than one goal (+205) is a good option.
- Expectation: Edmonton will play with high energy and determination to keep their championship hopes alive.
