The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 5 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 2-2 after the Oilers won game 4 on the road. The Oilers made it a 2-2 series with a 5-4 win over the Panthers in the 4th game of this series and they really dug deep to win that game. They had a terrible 1st period as they were down 3-0 by the end of it, but they came all the way back with 4 unanswered goals and went on to win the game in overtime, even after giving up the tying goal with less than 30 seconds left. The Oilers seemed dead after those last 2 games, especially after the way they lost on the road in game 3, but they bounced back big in game 4 and now have some momentum on their side going back home. They also made the switch to Pickard in that last game after Skinner gave up 3 goals in the 1st period, and that switch really energized them as Pickard was solid for the rest of the game. The Oilers are going to be motivated now that they have the home advantage back in their favor, and having Pickard in net in this game will help them keep the Panthers from scoring the way they have in the first 4 games of this series. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.

"The game can break on a slot pass to Sam Bennett, crack a bar. Everything is dangerous all the time. So there's a mental intensity, mental toughness both teams show. The game is not going to be over until it is. You get three and four games in a Final into overtime, you’ve got two really good, evenly matched teams." - Paul Maurice after his team’s loss against the Oilers in game 4 of this series on Thursday.

"It once again shows you or tells you that our group never quits. I think we believe that no matter how bad it is if we get over that hump of adversity we're going to keep pushing, we're going to keep coming, we're going to keep coming and eventually it'll break. You don't want to be in these situations too many times, but when they happen, I think we're great at it." - Leon Draisaitl after their win against the Panthers in game 4 of this series on Thursday.
