Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

If you’re going off momentum, you’d pick the Oilers to make history. The Oilers have dominated the last 3 games against the Panthers and have played at a completely different speed. However, if momentum really mattered, this series would be over already. Before the last three games, the Panthers had beat the Oilers in 5 straight games and outscored them 21-8 during that span.

We’ve seen both the Panthers and Oilers have their way for stretches of this series, and this is the decider to determine what was real. I’ll give the edge to the Panthers because of home ice, where they’re 34-16-3 on the season. The Oilers have seen 23 of their 35 losses this season come on the road. Home teams have won 58.6 percent of NHL game 7s. Give me the Panthers and the cheap price.
