Panthers vs Oilers Game 1 preview

It’s the rematch everyone wanted in the NHL Stanley Cup Final: Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers. The Panthers broke Canadian hearts in 2024, taking the Cup in Game 7. Now, the Oilers return to the finals hungry for revenge, boasting a retooled lineup and home-ice advantage.

Edmonton have been lethal in the playoffs, winning 12 of their last 14 games behind elite production from Connor McDavid (26 points) and Leon Draisaitl (25 points). Stuart Skinner has flipped the narrative too, posting a .944 save percentage and three shutouts since reclaiming the crease.

Florida, meanwhile, are embracing the underdog role with the top online sportsbooks despite being defending champs. Sergei Bobrovsky has been outstanding — 1.34 GAA and .944 SV% in his last nine starts — and Aleksander Barkov leads a deep Panthers squad that’s won eight of its last 10 road playoff games.

History favors the team that lost the prior year’s final — just ask the Penguins in 2009 or the Oilers in the ‘80s. With revenge, momentum, and a raucous Rogers Place behind them, the Oilers have the edge in Game 1.

Panthers vs Oilers Game 1 predictions

Edmonton have been dominant on home ice, outscoring opponents 33-13 across their last seven games at Rogers Place. With revenge on their mind after last year’s heartbreak, the Oilers will come out fast and aggressive, aiming to overwhelm Florida early. Expect the home team to be up by one and score the final blow during an empty net at +175 with Stake.com.

Both teams enter the final averaging over 3.8 goals per game in the postseason, and their past three meetings have all featured at least seven total goals. While the Panthers play with structure, they’ve still conceded three or more goals in six of their last nine games. Edmonton thrive in a high-tempo environment, and their power play is humming at over 30% in the playoffs. Take the overs here with Stake.com.

Corey Perry is quietly building a strong playoff resume with three goals and seven points in the postseason. Slotted alongside Connor McDavid on Edmonton’s top line, Perry is getting top-tier offensive-zone usage and high-danger looks. At juicy odds at Stake.com, he’s the perfect longshot to find the back of the net in a wide-open Game 1.
