The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 7 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. This series is all tied up 3-3 after the Oilers won game 6 of this series on their home ice. The Panthers jumped out to an early 3-0 series lead here and it looked like it was over, but now they have lost 3 games in a row and they have lost all of the momentum on their side coming into this one. The Panthers allowed the Oilers to hang around and had 3 chances already to win the cup and couldn't do it. Now the pressure has to be building for a team that got blown out in the Stanley Cup Finals last year and has now blown a 3-0 lead in this one, giving the Oilers a chance to lift the cup on Monday. The Panthers have already lost their momentum in this series, but they have also looked terrible in the last 3 games. The Oilers have finally figured Bobrovsky out and their offense has been clicking with 5 goals in each of the last 3 games. Their defense has also looked a lot better in these games. The Oilers have all the momentum on their side coming into this one, but they also have less pressure since they were down 3-0 in the series and had been counted out. Now all of the pressure is on the Panthers to not allow the 3-0 series comeback, but the Panthers have also had no answer for the Oilers in these losses. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game and complete the 3-0 series comeback.
