The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 2 of a 7 game series between the 1st seeded Panthers from the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference and the 2nd seeded Oilers from the Pacific Division in the Western Conference for the Stanley Cup Final of the NHL playoffs. The Panthers have a 1-0 series lead after winning game 1 of this series on their home ice. The Panthers won the 1st game of this series 3-0, but they were outshot and outplayed for that entire 60 minutes. They managed to capitalize on 2 defensive mistakes by the Oilers which allowed them to play with a lead, along with a great performance from Bobrovsky, but the Oilers were the better team in that game. The Oilers are going to be pushing even harder in this one to make sure they split these 2 home games for the Panthers since the Oilers need to flip the home advantage to their side. They peppered Bobrovsky with shots in game 1 as good as he was, standing on his head in that game, it is only a matter of time until the Oilers break through and once they do, the goals will start to flow for this offense. The Oilers have to win a road game to win this series and they were the better team in game 1 so look for them to throw everything they have at the Panthers here to break the seal and even things up going back to Edmonton. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.
