Event Preview
The Stanley Cup Finals for 2025 have already delivered some excellent action, with little separating the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers after two games. Game one was all about the Panthers and their capitulation in Edmonton, but they firmly got their Stanley Cup dreams back on track with an excellent performance on the road in game two.
In fact, it was likely a missed opportunity for the Oilers, who squandered a first period advantage. Edmonton started in excellent form in front of goal, scoring three times in an action-packed opening frame. However, the home fans would need to wait until the final period to celebrate another effort.

Game two was all about getting back on track for the Panthers, but they still needed to hold their nerve as history threatened to repeat itself after blowing a 4-3 advantage in the final period. Fortunately, the crucial moment would go in their favor in the second period of overtime, scoring a potentially series-defining winner.
The Panthers were vibrant and expansive in the attacking third of the ice, with Brad Marchand coming up clutch with two excellent goals. Anton Lundell ended the night with two assists, while further goals were scored by Sam Bennett, Dimitry Kulikov, and Seth Jones.
Panthers vs. Oilers Game 3 Picks
For the first time in the series, the pressure will be on the Oilers to bounce back following a devastating defeat in game two.
Playing on the road will ensure that this is a huge challenge, and the tide could turn in the favor of the Panthers in front of their home fans in games three and four.
