Prop Bets: Edmonton Oilers VS Florida Panthers 2025-06-09

The Stanley Cup Finals are heating up, folks. The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers are tied at one win apiece, and Game 3 is just around the corner. The Panthers have a 55% chance of winning, according to Dimers' predictive analytics model, but I'm not convinced. Connor McDavid is on fire, with 31 points this postseason, including five consecutive multi-point efforts. That's like me trying to write a humorous article without any jokes - it's just not going to happen.

The over/under is set at 6.5 goals, but I think it's going to be a tight game. The model predicts a 54% chance of the total staying under, and I agree. These teams are too good defensively to let the goals flow like a faucet that won't turn off.

As for player props, Carter Verhaeghe is a good bet to score, with six goals this postseason. And don't count out Aleksander Barkov, who has 11 assists this postseason, even if he hasn't scored yet in the Finals. Perry is another player to watch, tied for fifth on the Oilers with 12 points this postseason.

My pick? Under 6.5 goals (-115). It's not the most exciting bet, but it's a safe one. And if you want to get fancy, take the Oilers +1.5 (-115). They're not going to go down without a fight, and McDavid is due for another big game.

So, there you have it. The Oilers and Panthers are going to put on a show, but it's going to be a low-scoring affair. Grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the game. And if you're feeling lucky, throw a few bucks on the under. Your wallet will thank you.
