For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Panthers to cover. Even if the Oilers secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Panthers should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
