Oilers, Panthers Tie Series 1-1 in High-Scoring Stanley Cup Final

The 2025 Stanley Cup Final is tied 1-1 as the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers prepare for Game 3 in Florida, where the Panthers hold a historical advantage for teams leading 2-1 in the series. Both teams have showcased high-scoring offenses, with Leon Draisaitl and Sam Bennett each netting three goals in the first two games, while Connor McDavid leads with five assists. Betting sites favor the Panthers at home, with Draisaitl and McDavid offering attractive odds for goal and assist props, respectively. Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to improve defensively, having posted a .939 save percentage at home against Edmonton last season, which could limit Edmonton's scoring. Despite the Panthers' efforts to contain McDavid, his key assists have been pivotal in close moments, highlighting his impact even when tightly guarded. Florida will introduce A.J. Greer back into the lineup for Game 3, aiming to maintain momentum and leverage their physical, special teams play that contributed to their double overtime win in Game 2.
