panthers look to Extend lead Over Oilers in Game 4 Stanley Cup Final
Updated June 12, 2025
Following a decisive 6-1 victory in Game 3, the Florida Panthers have seized a 2-1 lead over the Edmonton Oilers in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final. Game 4 is set for 8 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TNT/max.
The Panthers’ dominant performance in Game 3 has considerably altered the Stanley Cup odds. Florida is now a heavy favourite to win the Stanley Cup, with Sam Bennett’s odds for the Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP) also improving.
Historically, the winner of Game 3 in a Stanley Cup Final tied 1-1 has gone on to win the series in 23 of 30 instances. While the Panthers have a strong series record when leading 2-1, the Oilers have shown resilience, winning their past three series when trailing by the same margin.
Florida’s offense has been a force to be reckoned with, scoring five or more goals in a game 11 times this postseason, a feat last achieved by the 1992 Pittsburgh Penguins. Veteran Brad Marchand, with a goal in Game 3, became the oldest player to score in each of the first three games of a Stanley Cup Final, surpassing Frank Mahovlich’s record.
Edmonton’s strength lies in their depth, with 20 different goal scorers this postseason. One more new goal scorer would tie an NHL record.
Game 3 marked the 13th time that Edmonton stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were held scoreless in the same playoff game, with two of those instances occurring against the Panthers in Florida.
best Bets for Game 4
Here are some betting insights for game 4:
- Evan Bouchard over 3.5 total shots on goal (+125): Bouchard has been consistently firing shots on net.
- Sergei Bobrovsky over 26.5 total saves (-135): expect the Oilers to come out aggressively, leading to more save opportunities for Bobrovsky.
- Brad Marchand over 0.5 plus/minus (+145): Marchand has been a consistent point producer and a positive influence on the ice.
What’s next
the Oilers face a crucial Game 4 as they look to avoid falling into a 3-1 series deficit against the Panthers. A win would even the series and shift the momentum back to Edmonton for Game 5.
