Oilers vs Panthers Prediction, Picks, and NHL Prop Bets, June 9: Edmonton Edges Florida in Another Tight Contest

Edmonton and Florida may be the most evenly-matched Stanley Cup Final teams ever. Thus, the NHL betting odds have been tight in the past two games and each were decided in overtime. Florida got the best of Edmonton to “steal” home ice advantage in Game 2 thanks to Brad Marchand. But Edmonton plays better following a loss and could get a road win of its own this Monday.

Oilers vs Panthers Prediction

Both games have been decided by one goal with an average total of eight. It’s a fast-paced and high-scoring series and we doubt that changes much with our Game 3 NHL prediction. It will be another tight affair but with Edmonton coming out on top as it has in six of its last seven road games.

Oilers vs Panthers Best NHL Player Props Today

• Oilers G Stuart Skinner Over 26.5 Saves (-130)

Our NHL expert pick will look silly unless Stuart Skinner can buckle down and keep making saves. Even if he only has an .892 save percentage, he’ll face enough shots to go over his save prop. Florida averages over 33 shots on goal at home and has 28+ in six of its last eight facing Edmonton.

• Oilers F Connor McDavid 1+ Goal (+140)

Connor McDavid will continue to spell Edmonton. He’s collected five assists in this series and is the Conn Smythe favorite as the playoffs MVP. We’re banking he’s due to score a goal and we’ll bet on it given the plus odds. As the best player that still has not won a cup, bet on McDavid to get on the board.

• Panthers D Seth Jones Over 0.5 Points (+141)

Let’s pivot to Florida where we like Seth Jones to score a point at plus odds. The star defenseman is part of a stud blueline, which will get many power-play opportunities given the speed and physicality of this game. He notched a pair of points in Game 2. Bet on him to extend the point streak in Game 3.

Oilers vs Panthers Total Pick

Expect the NHL news to reflect another entertaining back-and-forth affair here. Edmonton will bring the heat in Florida and we’ll see 60+ shots on goal with a total of 7+ goals yet again. The totals have gone over in four of each team’s last five games and eight of their last nine against each other for a reason. Bet the over.

Oilers vs Panthers ML Pick

Edmonton has only won one of its last six games in Florida. But the Panthers have not played their best at home. They are 4-3 at the Amerant Bank Arena in these playoffs and are 3-4 against the puck line. The Oilers are also 3-1 following a loss, so those who bet on NHL games should take the dog shot.

Oilers vs Panthers ATS Pick

At worst, the Oilers should still cover +1.5. We don’t like the value at these odds given the threat of an empty net goal. But Edmonton has killed it on the road with a 6-1 record and a +9 goal differential since dropping its first two. Even counting these NHL games, Edmonton would have covered +1.5 in seven of these games.

Bet On Edmonton Oilers +1.5 (-205)
