Oilers vs Panthers Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Panthers to pick up on a win over the Oilers at home. With the moneyline sitting at -112, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Panthers straight-up.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Oilers to cover. Even in the event of a Panthers victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Oilers should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
