The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 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 3-0 series lead after winning game 3 of this series on the road. This series is pretty much over as the Oilers have shown nothing in their last 2 games. They have struggled to get out ahead in these games against the Panthers and they simply haven't had an answer for Bobrovsky either. They have struggled to score goals and their top lines have disappeared in this series. The Panthers went through the same thing last year when their series against the Golden Knights ended, but now the Panthers have shown to be one of the best teams in the NHL and they are going to be locked in on ending this series after coming so close last year. The Oilers can still come back in this series since it has been done in the NHL before, but teams that win the first 2 games in the Stanley Cup Finals go on to win the series over 90% of the time. The Oilers are going to be down in spirits as they really needed to win game 3 and they won't have enough left in the tank to win this game when they haven't been able to figure out the Panthers all season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to win this game.
