Florida is the favorite, entering the Stanley Cup Final at -130 odds on DraftKings, with the Oilers at +110.
The Panthers have the benefit of home ice through the series, which should be quite the advantage, considering how well Edmonton has performed in these playoffs.
However, that strategy might not be too successful against a Panthers team which has made opposing power plays look like a non-issue in these playoffs.In their last 10 games, the Panthers have an insane 92.3 percent kill rate on power plays, something that will need to translate to this series against the Oilers.
Adding to the equation is goal tending which in theory would be a massive advantage for Florida, considering Edmonton benched Stuart Skinner once already this postseason, while the Panthers boast Sergei Bobrovsky between the pipes. Edmonton has scored 3.6 more goals than expected in the 5-on-5, the most among all playoff teams, while the Panthers have actually been unlucky, according to MoneyPuck.The Panthers also has the most low-danger shots among all playoff teams after finishing third in the league during the regular season.
