The Florida Panthers aim to extend their series advantage as they host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 4 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final on Thursday. After Edmonton secured an overtime victory in Game 1 on home ice, Florida has taken control with two consecutive wins. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky was stellar with 32 saves in Game 3 on Monday, a dominant 6-1 win where six different Panthers players found the back of the net.

Edmonton hasn`t suffered three straight losses since early February in the regular season, and the stakes were significantly lower then. They`ve lost consecutive games just once in the 2025 playoffs, bouncing back with a strong 7-4 win against Los Angeles previously. Historically, the Oilers also hold a solid 7-2 record in Game 4 situations dating back to 2022.
Connor McDavid, held pointless in Game 3 for only the third time this postseason, has followed up previous such games with multi-point performances and is expected to be highly motivated in Game 4 to prevent a 3-1 series deficit.
Momentum is clearly with the home team, the Florida Panthers. While Games 1 and 2 were tight contests decided by a single goal, Game 3 showcased Florida`s offensive power in a decisive 6-1 victory. Players like Sam Bennett and Sam Reinhart were among the scorers, contributing to Florida reaching five or more goals for the 11th time this postseason.
Florida also appears to have the advantage in net. Sergei Bobrovsky has faced 116 shots through three games, delivering a standout performance in Game 3 by allowing only one goal. In contrast, Edmonton`s Stuart Skinner was replaced on Monday after giving up five goals on 23 shots. This situation raises the question of whether Edmonton will stick with Skinner or turn to Calvin Pickard for Game 4; Pickard allowed one goal on eight shots in relief but hasn`t started a game in a month.
Analysis suggests potential betting angles for Oilers vs. Panthers Game 4. Some experts lean towards the Over for total goals, while other critical factors may significantly favor one team.
