The Over has hit in 8 of the last 10 meetings between Florida & Edmonton
Florida Panthers have lost 1 home game in each playoff series so far
Edmonton Oilers are 6-1 in their previous 7 road playoff games

Head To Head

Edmonton Oilers lead the all-time series 27-23-3
Florida Panthers won 5-4 in overtime when the two teams last met on June 6

Edmonton Oilers Form

Edmonton head out on the road for the first time in this series looking to rebound from their home defeat in Game 2.

The Oilers opened the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals with a 4-3 overtime win over Edmonton, but failed to back that up last Friday as they were beaten 5-4 in OT in the second meeting.

They went into this rematch of the 2024 Finals having gone 12-4 while eliminating Los Angeles, Vegas and Dallas.

Edmonton made a rough start as they dropped back-to-back games in Los Angeles, 6-5 and 6-2, but they responded by winning the next four meetings to advance, taking them 7-4, 4-3 (OT), 3-1 and 6-4.

The Oilers kept that run going as they made a much stronger start to the second round, downing Vegas 4-2 in regulation and 5-4 in overtime on the road.

They then responded to a 4-3 home loss with a 3-0 victory, before heading back to ‘Sin City’ to clinch the series with a 1-0 overtime win.

Edmonton lost their opening game of the Western Conference Finals series with Dallas, 6-3, but once again responded strongly to a postseason setback.

The Oilers levelled the series with a 3-0 victory in Texas, before heading back home to take control with 6-1 and 4-1 victories at Rogers Place.

That gave them the chance to clinch on the road in Game 5, and they did just that as they downed the Stars 6-3 to set up this rematch of last year’s Stanley Cup Finals.

Florida Panthers Form

Florida return home for the first time in the series looking to build on a big road win and take a 2-1 series lead.

The Panthers were narrowly beaten 4-3 in overtime in Edmonton in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, but rebounded in Game 2 with a 5-4 OT victory to level it up.

They entered the 2025 Finals having won 12 of their 17 playoff games to eliminate Tampa Bay, Toronto and Carolina.

Florida made a fast start to the playoffs as they won 6-2 and 2-0 at Tampa Bay, before responding to a 5-1 defeat with series-clinching 4-2 and 6-3 wins over the Lightning.

The Panthers failed to repeat that fast start in the second round as they travelled to Toronto and lost 5-4 and 4-3 to the Maple Leafs.

They rebounded at home though, winning 5-4 in overtime and 2-0 in regulation, before edging ahead in the series for the first time with a 6-1 victory on the road.

Florida failed to clinch at home, losing 2-0 to the Maple Leafs, but they held their nerve in Game 7 as they went back out on the road to win 6-1 in Toronto.

The Panthers backed up that victory as they raced out to a three-game lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, reeling off 5-2 and 5-0 victories in Carolina, before returning home to down the Hurricanes 6-2.

They missed out on a series sweep as they were beaten 3-0 in Game 4, but they put that behind them when they headed back to Carolina to clinch the series with a 5-3 victory.

Verdict

EDM Oilers @ FLA Panthers - Game 3

These two teams have been racking up high-scoring meetings this season, averaging 8.5 goals per game when they have gone head-to-head.
