Edmonton vs. Florida – Stanley Cup Final Game 4 Preview & Expert Predictions
Odds: Florida -147 ML | Total: 6.0
Florida Panthers Preview
Back again at Amerant Bank Arena, Florida is priced at -147 to stretch its lead to 3-1, with Bovada bookmakers setting the total at 6.0. Game 3 was a defensive clinic: Sergei Bobrovsky (.923 postseason SV%) stoned Edmonton’s top guns, while Sam Reinhart and Aleksander Barkov finally cracked the scoresheet.
Paul Maurice has hammered home that momentum resets to zero each night, yet the champs have held Edmonton to just six even-strength goals through three games. Should Florida keep forcing turnovers in the neutral zone, the Panthers can leverage their depth and grinding forecheck to control pace once again.
Edmonton Oilers Preview
Edmonton, now a +127 underdog, must rediscover the structure that fueled its run to the final. Coach Kris Knoblauch hinted at dressing Troy Stecher on the blue line and wouldn’t commit to Stuart Skinner after the goalie’s .866 save percentage in the series.
Historically, the Oilers respond well after a loss (4-0 in these playoffs), and Leon Draisaitl believes a sharper, physical start will open lanes for Connor McDavid, who managed just two shots in Game 3. Edmonton must also clean up defensive-zone turnovers; otherwise, Florida’s transition game will continue to feast.
Player Prop Picks
Connor McDavid Over 3.5 shots on goal – Shut down in Game 3, he traditionally bounces back, averaging 4.7 SOG in playoff road games.
Sam Reinhart Anytime Goal – Florida’s leading goal-getter (nine in postseason) finally broke through last game and remains on the top power-play unit hunting loose pucks around the crease.
Game Prediction
Expect a far tighter contest. Florida’s goaltending edge and home crowd nudge the Panthers ahead, but Edmonton’s desperation should limit the scoring frenzy.
Best Bet: Florida ML (-147)
Total: Under 6.0 (+105)
