Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers (8:00pm, EST)
Edmonton Oilers Moneyline: (-126) at FanDuel Sportsbook
Just when the Florida Panthers were looking like they were going to run away with the win in game one of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Edmonton Oilers managed to complete the comeback by securing the game winning goal in overtime.
Not only did they stun the Panthers, but they actually comfortably outperformed them as they also beat the reigning Stanley Cup champions in Expected Goals 4.65-3.71.
More impressive yet, Edmonton’s Stuart Skinner was able to sustain his high level of play as he finished the contest with a Goals Saved Above Expected of 0.71. His success can be attributed to his back line as the Oilers defense heads into game two ranked second overall in Expected Goals Against in All Situations.
Should their defense continue to lessen the quality of the Panthers Shots on Goal, then expect Skinner to provide them the production they need to help pull away on the scoreboard.
Edmonton Oilers Team Total Over 3: (-135) at BetMGM Sportsbook
Even with the Panthers back line excelling in coverage as their playoff leading mark in Expected Goals Against in All Situations indicates, the Oilers versatility proved they are capable of stretching out their coverage to help generate higher quality shots towards their net.
Especially with their stars playing at a very high level as Connor McDavid finished the contest with an Expected Goal of 0.37 while Leon Draisaitl generated a 0.98. Should the Oilers team total climb up to 3.5, then lessen the size of your wager.
Aaron Ekblad Under 1.5 Shots on Goal: (-110) at BetMGM Sportsbook
After scoring four goals in the Eastern Conference Finals, Sam Bennett is in a favorable position to carry over his momentum into the finals as he averages an Expected Goal of 0.43.
Bennett also gets the benefit of playing in one of the more productive lines in the league as Carter Verhaeghe and Matthew Tkachuk both excel at pressuring the net.
Their versatility will have the Oilers back line stretched out thin which opens up higher quality shooting lanes for Bennet to exploit.
