Panthers vs Oilers Predictions, Picks and NHL Prop Bets 6/6: Back Over 6.5 Goals

The Edmonton Oilers struck first as they overcame two deficits to beat Florida in overtime. It took a Herculean effort from their superstars to beat Florida after the Oilers scored the first goal in the playoffs. The NHL odds reflect a similar probability in this Game 2 rematch. But we’re hitching our wagons to the underdogs as it’s payback time in Edmonton.

Panthers vs Oilers Score Prediction

We’re in for another high-scoring affair. These teams combine to score over seven goals on average, which is why they are facing each other in the Stanley Cup Final again. The NHL game odds are being bet to go under, but we’re pushing back against that. Florida will light Stuart Skinner up and tie up the series.

Panthers 6, Oilers 3

Top 3 Panthers vs Oilers NHL Player Props Today

• Oilers G Stuart Skinner Under 24.5 Saves (+100)

Stuart Skinner overcame some bad early goals to help Edmonton win Game 1. But we’re not fooled as Skinner can alternate solid games with bad ones. Plus, it’s Florida. The Panthers average 4.6 goals on just 26.5 shots per road game. They have the top-ranked power play (31.8%). Bet Skinner to go under his save props.

Bet on Stuart Skinner Under 24.5 Saves (+100)

• Panthers F Sam Reinhart Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-115)

It’s time for Sam Reinhart to get going. He was on a torrid pace, averaging a point per game and 3.9 shots on goal (SOG) in his first 10 games. Since he returned from injury, he’s logged just three SOG. That did come in the last game, so he’s one of our NHL best bets with his SOG prop to go over.

Bet on Sam Reinhart Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-115)

• Panthers F Carter Verhaeghe 1+ Goals (+225)

We’re also banking on Carter Verhaeghe to score a goal. Given the line, this is a lucrative NHL prediction as he’s scored a goal in four of the Panthers’ last six playoff games following a loss. He was held to zero SOG in Game 1. That should change this Friday as he gets more involved on offense.

Bet on Carter Verhaeghe 1+ Goals (+225)

Panthers vs Oilers Total Pick

Give us the over at plus odds. This NHL matchup pits such prolific offenses that not even stellar goaltending or defense can slow it down. The total has gone over in 15 of Florida’s last 20 games for a reason, as has its last five games against the Oilers in Edmonton. Bet the over.

Bet on Panthers vs Oilers Over 6.5 (+105)

Panthers vs Oilers ML Pick

But as we mentioned, a Florida bet to win outright is a better deal. Edmonton had the momentum and the edge in Game 1 but won by the skin of its teeth. Florida is 8-4 following a loss since last year’s playoffs. Let the NHL news reflect a tied series after Game 2. Back Florida to pull off the upset.

Panthers vs Oilers Puck Line Pick

We’re not crazy about this line and would rather bet the moneyline at even odds. Florida is the best road team and is 5-1 in the playoffs as a road underdog and 6-0 against the puck line. The Panthers have a 2:1 goal differential as a visitor. Bet the Panthers to cover the puck line.

Bet On Florida Panthers +1.5 (-225)
