The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 2 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 Oilers are leading this series 1-0 after winning game 1 at home. The Oilers took a 1-0 series lead with a 4-3 win over the Panthers in overtime and that was a really tight game. The Oilers scored very early to take a 1-0 lead but then fell behind shortly after and had to play from behind the entire game. They finally tied the game in the 3rd period which forced overtime and the Oilers went on to win, but they did not start that game well. The Panthers came to play in that 1st game and they are going to bring their best effort again in this one as they still need to win a road game in this series to flip the home advantage in their favor. The Panthers are going to have a response to that tight loss and that was more a game that the Panthers blew than the Oilers winning it. The Panthers will bounce back in this one and even up this series going back to Florida, showing why they are the defending Stanley Cup champions. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to win this game.

"Its potential [is] to be just a spectacular seven-gamer. Up and down the ice. It's still fast. There's not any casualness and there's no [nonsense] in either team's game. The pucks go deep that are supposed to go deep. It was honest, it was hard, it was fast and it was tight. It was an overtime game." - Paul Maurice after his team’s loss against the Oilers in game 1 of this series on Wednesday.

"Numerous times we've been able to just stick with it. I saw that last year, the composure, us not getting rattled. Tonight, playing against a very good team, great defensively, don't give up many opportunities to squander leads, and we're pushing and pushing and finally we're able to get that goal to tie it up. I think experience helped a little, last year being in the Final, but I think this is just a pretty mature team." - Kris Knoblauch after his team’s win against the Panthers in game 1 of this series on Wednesday.
