The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 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. The Panthers are leading this series 2-1 after winning game 3 at home. The Panthers made it a 2-1 series lead with a 6-1 win over the Oilers in the 3rd game of this series and they really started to look like the team that won the Stanley Cup last season. The two games in Edmonton to start this series both went to overtime and were really close games, but the Panthers broke this series open in their first home game. They were all over the Oilers from start to finish in that 3rd game and the Oilers had no answers when they fell behind early. They will be looking to bounce back in this one, but the pressure is still on them to flip the home advantage back in their favor now. The Panthers looked like the better team in that last game, and their goaltending was a big part of that win. Bobrovsky is starting to look like himself again and Skinner has reverted to his old ways, giving up a lot of goals in all 3 games of this series so far. All of the pressure is on the Oilers to win this game but the Panthers are the defending champions and they are going to show why when they step up and take a commanding series lead in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to win this game.

"Oh definitely the third period is an unraveling. I don't think we would have acted or played like that had the game been a one-goal or two-goal game. I don't know, boys being boys I guess, just trying to make investments for the next game." - Kris Knoblauch after his team’s loss against the Panthers in game 3 of this series on Monday.

"The Sam Reinhart goal is the inflection point in the game. So at 2-1, especially with what both teams have been through in the first two, there is no lead at that point. Sam's goal was very important for us." - Paul Maurice after his team’s win against the Oilers in game 3 of this series on Monday.
