Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Edmonton vs Florida

Edmonton

No matter how the current final series ends, Edmonton has already made NHL history by becoming the first team in the history of the League to win the Stanley Cup finals while trailing 0-3. The Oilers' fantastic comeback came in the fourth game of the final series, which was played at Florida's home arena. Before that, Edmonton had completely lost the third game, losing to the Panthers on the road with a score of 1-6, so another defeat would have practically put an end to the cup ambitions of Chris Knobloch's team. The opening segment of the fourth game was a continuation of the third match, when Florida completely dominated the ice. In the opening 20 minutes, the Oilers received three unanswered goals, conceding two of them while playing shorthanded. Everything turned around in the second period, when Nugent-Hopkins, Nurse and Podkolzin tied the game with their goals. In the third period, Walman put Edmonton ahead, but the hosts managed to tie the score 20 seconds before the final buzzer. The fate of the match was decided in overtime, when in the 12th minute Draisaitl pushed through the hosts' defense, scoring his fourth overtime goal in the current playoffs.

Florida

Florida played the opening games of the final series from a position of strength, even in the lost first match having a noticeable advantage during the meeting. A crushing 6-1 victory in the third match, in front of their own fans, only confirmed the Panthers as favorites of the final. The first period of the fourth match was dictated by the Florida hockey players, in which Tkachuk scored two goals, and Finnish forward Lundell scored another goal. It would seem that the fate of the match was predetermined, but the Panthers' attempt to play to maintain a comfortable advantage failed miserably. The Panthers received three goals in their own net in the second period, and by the 54th minute the score was 3-4, but 20 seconds before the siren, Florida's final assault was crowned with success. Sam Reinhart managed to hit the Edmonton net from an acute angle, but in overtime, luck was on the side of the visitors. Thus, the Panthers missed an opportunity to increase their lead in the series, instead of going to Edmonton with a comfortable 3-1 lead, the score was tied 2-2.

Game Totals Prediction

So far, the current series is marked by an attack that is much brighter than defense. Edmonton's problems in the defensive order, which the team had during the regular season, have not gone away in the Stanley Cup final. In four games played, the Oilers have conceded 17 goals, trusting the place in the goal to Skinner and Picard. Despite the away status of the match, the Florida hockey players can count on several goals scored. Our prediction is Florida's individual total over 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.69.
