• The Oilers (+129) will rally and pull off another upset in Florida in a do-or-die Game 6.
• Leon Draisaitl (3.5 shots) and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins have NHL player props worth betting online.

Here we go again. The Edmonton Oilers face elimination after being bodied in Game 5 by the Florida Panthers. Yes, we got that one wrong but we’re not fazed. Edmonton looked flat thanks to an adrenaline dump from the Game 4 comeback. Now, the Oilers are better rested and will play much better with their backs against the wall. This is how our NHL bets shape up for a decisive Game 6.

Hey Edmonton Oilers fans forget the noise and negativity.

All I know is that our team is just ONE win away from getting to play for the Stanley Cup in Edmonton on a Friday Night.

Oilers vs Panthers Score Prediction

We stay steadfast in our commitment to the Oilers, not just because of fandom but because of the odds to win the Stanley Cup. Edmonton still has the two best players in the series in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. It’s at its best in this dynamic duo’s era and it’s about time we see a complete game from Edmonton where it neutralizes Florida.

Oilers vs Panthers Best NHL Player Props Today

• Panthers F Brad Marchand Under 0.5 Points (-117)

Dubbed the “Rat King,”  Brad Marchand would win the Stanley Cup Final MVP if an award existed. His six goals is a SCF record. But we’re betting against his NHL player props as he could be held off the scoresheet. Edmonton will have to if it wants to win. Bet under his points prop.

Bet Brad Marchand Under 0.5 Points (-117)

• Oilers F Leon Draisaitl Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+125)

Leon Draisaitl leads the SCF with four goals and eight points. That’s impressive when he only has 14 shots on goal (SOG), which is the second-fewest among forwards with 24+ minutes of average ice time. That won’t do and we expect “Drai” to assault the net and rack up 4+ SOG as he did in the three competitive games in this series.

Bet Leon Draisaitl Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+125)

• Oilers F Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Over 0.5 Points (-120)

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has been banged up in this series. But he also had a goal and an assist in Edmonton’s comeback win in Game 4. “Nuge” has points in six of Edmonton’s nine road games. Edmonton is 5-1 when he scores on the road. He’s one of our NHL picks to score.

Bet Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Over 0.5 Points (-120)

Oilers vs Panthers Total Pick

The total has gone over in all five games of this Stanley Cup Final with every game having at least seven goals. Florida has netted 4+ goals in all but one game. This ends in Game 6 where we may see a score similar to Game 7 of last year’s SCF. Our NHL prediction today is for the lowest-scoring game of the series.

Bet on Oilers vs Panthers Under 6.5 (-115)

Oilers vs Panthers ML Pick

The season is on the line for the Oilers, hence why they will make stunning NHL news by beating Florida and sending the game back to Edmonton. The Oilers are 7-2 in the road since dropping the first two in these playoffs and are 6-4 as underdogs. Bank on Edmonton for some underdog money.

We don’t like puck line picks with a line close to -200. Should Edmonton be behind in the third, it will pull the goalie earlier than usual, which can lead to Florida scoring. Avoid the puck line and go for an outright upset if you like Edmonton.
