Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Florida vs Edmonton

Florida

The Panthers are one step away from repeating last year's success, when the team took the main trophy of the League, also defeating Edmonton in the final. A year ago, this required playing a possible maximum of seven games, now Paul Maurice's charges have an excellent chance to finish the season after six games. The result of the fifth match, when Florida confidently outplayed its opponent on the opponent's ice, could be key in the final rivalry. It would seem that after the missed victory in the fourth game, during which the Panthers were leading 3-0, but managed to lose in the end, the psychological state of the Panthers was far from optimal. But already in the first period, the Panthers managed to upset the home team twice, while managing to keep their goal intact. This time, Florida did not make the mistakes of the last match, managing not only to maintain the received handicap of two goals, but also to develop it, winning with a score of 5-2. Once again, Brad Marchand was the hero of the game, scoring two goals. The experienced veteran, who joined the Florida team just before the start of the playoffs, has already scored six goals in the final series.

Edmonton

According to all preliminary calculations, the Oilers approached the fifth game as favorites, primarily having a psychological advantage after a miraculous rescue in the fourth game. However, the starting segment of the fifth game turned out to be discouraging for the Oilers. Chris Knobloch's team played extremely poorly in attack, only three shots on goal in 20 minutes, while failing twice in defense, allowing Florida to make a comfortable lead of two goals. The best period for the Oilers was the third period, when McDavid and Perry scored a goal each, giving their fans hope for another rescue. This time, the miracle did not happen, with the score 2-4, Edmonton pulled the goalie, but received the fifth goal in an empty net. The 2-5 defeat puts Edmonton in an extremely difficult position, the Oilers have no right to make a mistake, only two victories in a row will allow Chris Knobloch's team to take the coveted trophy.

Game Totals Prediction

Everything is going to the fact that Florida can become the owner of the Stanley Cup for the second season in a row, and there is a high probability that this will happen again in front of their own fans. The fifth game of the series only confirmed the Panthers as the clear favorite of the final, the Florida hockey players had a noticeable advantage over their opponents in all the main game parameters, naturally winning a confident away victory. It is unlikely that the Panthers will repeat the mistakes of the fourth game, when they did not hold on to a three-goal advantage on home ice, so everything is going to the fact that the upcoming match will be the last in this series. Our forecast is a victory for Florida, taking into account overtime with a coefficient of 1.7.
