The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 3 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 2-0 series lead after winning game 2 of this series on their home ice. The Oilers looked a lot better in game 1 even though they lost that game 3-0, but they looked terrible in game 2 as the Panthers took a well deserved 2-0 lead in the series. Now the Oilers are going to be heading back home for the next 2 games and they have to make something happen here. Coming back from a 3-0 series deficit has been done before in the NHL playoffs, but is very rare and the team that takes a 2-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final goes on to win the series over 90% of the time. The Oilers will be looking to respond in this game on their home ice and they really have to get a game back here if they want to have a chance at the prize. The Oilers were able to find the net in game 2 which is something they couldn't do in the 1st game, but their offense has also looked a lot better on home ice in the playoffs so expect a better effort from their goal scorers as they throw everything they have at the Panthers in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game and get 1 back in the series.
