Why Back the Panthers
The Florida Panthers have demonstrated strong performance away from home in the 2025 NHL playoffs, holding a 9-3 road record. This suggests they are capable of winning even without home-ice advantage. Florida also boasts impressive scoring depth; 11 of their players have recorded two or more points in this series, significantly more than Edmonton`s two players meeting this threshold. Goaltending is another potential advantage for Florida, with Sergei Bobrovsky consistently making over 30 saves in the first four games and maintaining a solid 2.27 goals-against average throughout the series. Edmonton`s starting goalie, Stuart Skinner, was replaced during both Game 3 and Game 4.
Why Back the Oilers
Although the impact of momentum from game to game is often debated among athletes, it`s difficult to deny that the Edmonton Oilers will likely feel a boost in confidence following their dramatic Game 4 victory. They overcame a 3-0 deficit to win in overtime on Leon Draisaitl`s goal. Edmonton has also been particularly strong when playing at home in the playoffs, holding a 7-2 record at Rogers Place. Furthermore, their star players, Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, have been highly productive on home ice during the 2025 playoffs, combining for 33 points across nine home games.
