They are entering this game off a win against the Edmonton Oilers in their last game, winning that one on the road 5-4 in double OT.

The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 3 of a 7 game series between the 3rd seeded Oilers from the Pacific Division in the Western Conference and the 3rd seeded Panthers from the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference for the Stanley Cup Finals. This series is all tied up 1-1 after the Panthers won game 2 on the road. The Panthers made it a 1-1 series with a 5-4 win over the Oilers in the 2nd game of this series and that was another tight game that went to OT, just like game 1. The Oilers managed to edge out the Panthers in game 1 of this series, but the Panthers bounced back with that OT win in game 2 and they now have the momentum on their side going back home. They completed their mission in those 2 games as they were able to flip the home advantage in their favor, now they are going to carry that momentum into this game so they can take their first lead of this series. The Oilers were rolling over teams coming into this series, but they have started this series struggling in both home games and it isn't going to be easier on the road now. Skinner hasn't looked as good in the 2 games of this series either and that is something that the Panthers can take advantage of at home as they will bring their best effort here to take a 2-1 series lead. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to win this game.

"Obviously when you win the first one you're disappointed when you don't follow up and win the second one, but we're going there with a split and that's fine with us. We know we're comfortable playing on the road. We've won a lot of games so far in the regular season and playoffs. So we'll get ready for Game 3." - Kris Knoblauch after his team’s loss against the Panthers in game 2 of this series on Friday.

That one was definitely the biggest." - Sam Bennett after their win against the Oilers in game 2 of this series on Friday.
