Florida Panthers - Edmonton Oilers predictions and free betting tips [25/06/2024]

All hockey fans' attention will be focused on Florida, where the Panthers will host the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7 of the final series.

Florida Panthers

The Florida Panthers participated in 82 official NHL regular season matches in 2023-2024. The Panthers amassed 114 points from these matches, securing 3rd place in the Western Conference standings.

The regular season saw the Panthers consistently performing without any significant slumps. As one of the most southern clubs in the league, they remained among the leaders and contended for the conference victory.

In the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Panthers demonstrated even more reliability and strength, proving they could withstand any challenge. In the semi-finals, they halted the New York opponents, who were the best in the West.

Though they had a lead for much of the final, the Panthers began to falter, losing their advantage. The series is tied at 3:3, and while the momentum might be on the Oilers' side, the Panthers still look like a stronger unit overall.

All lines are ready to show their mettle, and there's hope not just for their leaders. Having lost in last year’s finals, the Panthers have the experience needed for crucial matches.

Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers played 82 official NHL regular season matches in 2023-2024. They earned 104 points, placing 5th in the Western Conference standings.

The regular season was not particularly successful for the Oilers, as their fifth-place finish suggests. However, reaching the Stanley Cup final has been a remarkable feat for the Canadian club, achieved in a somewhat sensational manner.

While their victories in the first two rounds weren't surprises, their triumph over the Dallas Stars certainly shocked everyone. In the finals, the Oilers have already performed a miracle by coming back from a 3:0 deficit to tie the series with three consecutive wins.

This comeback has re-invigorated their chances of claiming the Stanley Cup. In the final, the Oilers appear to be the favourites, with many highlighting their psychological advantage.

The Oilers’ goalie, Skinner, who had a rough start, has started to save his team, which will be crucial in this decisive game.

Head-to-Head Encounters

In the last five meetings, Edmonton Oilers have the upper hand with three victories. All these five face-offs have occurred within the Stanley Cup finals.

Total Prediction

The overall total for the match will be no more than six goals. With the stakes so high, both teams are likely to play tighter in defence, impacting their offensive actions.

Match Prediction: Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers

The Florida Panthers will emerge victorious. Playing on their home ice with fervent fans, the Panthers are unlikely to lose this decisive match in the final series.

Though many regard the Edmonton Oilers as favourites, it's precisely at such moments that the hosts could surprise. Their cohesive play in both defence and attack will bear fruit. The key will be to neutralise the visitors’ leaders and continually pressure their goalie.
