Florida Panthers (47-31-4) vs Edmonton Oilers (48-29-5)
Thursday, June 12, 2025 at 8:00 pm
At 8:00 pm, our selection is on the Edmonton Oilers over the Florida Panthers. Things got ugly on Monday night, both in general and for Edmonton specifically in Game 3. The Panthers completely overwhelmed their opponent at home and ran away with the game, 6-1. Brawls erupted in the third period as the Oilers became completely frustrated with Florida's superior play and forechecking. With the smoke now cleared, Edmonton has a lot of soul searching to do. It appears that the Oilers will stick with Stuart Skinner to start Game 4 tonight, but Kris Knoblauch has said he won't make a final decision until later in the day. Skinner has been running hot and cold and he often follows up horrible performances like Game 3 with very solid play. The other good news for Edmonton is that it has not lost three games in a row since a regular-season skid that started February 7, and the stakes are significantly higher now in this Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers are 34-16 (+11.2 net games) off back to back losses. And they're 10-0 in Game 4 of a Playoff series since 2023. Take Edmonton. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
