Panthers vs Oilers: Odds & Prediction

Florida is a +110 underdog, while Edmonton is a -130 favorite, and the over/under is set at 6.5 goals.

Bobrovsky and Skinner had some struggles in Game 1, which was expected after they hadn't played in nearly a week. In Game 2, both goalies should be much better.

Edmonton has been stellar at home as this Oilers team looks different this season. The Oilers should be able to get out to another early lead, and it will be back-and-forth, but Edmonton will take a commanding 2-0 series lead and win both games at home.

Prediction: Oilers 4, Panthers 2.
