The Florida Panthers have shown why they are the betting favorites to win the Stanley Cup. After two games in Florida, the Panthers are up 2-0, which is a steep hill to climb for the Edmonton Oilers. The series moves to Edmonton for the next two games, where the Oilers must win at least once for a chance at the Cup.
The Panthers were in the same position last year against Las Vegas. They were able to win Game 3 in overtime. It’s not unheard of to come back from a 2-0 deficit in the Final series, but it is rare. Only five teams have done it in NHL history, but two were in the last 15 years. The Toronto Maple Leafs were able to come back from a 3-0 series deficit, but that was in 1942. The game has changed considerably since then.
The puck drops for Game 3 in Edmonton on Thursday, June 13 at 8 p.m. ET.
Stanley Cup Finals 2024 Odds
The Panthers’ defense has done an incredible job keeping the Oilers’ potent offense from scoring. If Edmonton can’t figure out how to breach that defensive wall, this series won’t last long. But it’s difficult to stop the Oilers’ offense for very long. McDavid, Draisaitl, and other Edmonton players are too good not to find a crack in Florida’s defense. Game 3 should be interesting, to say the least.

NHL Odds of Winning Game 3
The Oilers were shut out of Game 1, 3-0. That’s the first time that Connor McDavid didn’t get a point since Game 7 against the Vancouver Canucks. In Game 2, they got the first goal, but the Panthers got the next four, winning 4-1. Edmonton is the favorite to win Game 3 by some betting sites but not by all, so it should be a close one. Sportswriters expect the Oilers to have an answer for Florida’s defense and goalie Bobrovsky. The Panthers outscored them 7-1, but the Oilers had more shots. All the Edmonton Oilers have to do now is get more quality shots to bury more goals.

Conn Smythe Trophy NHL Odds
Florida’s netminder took the lead to win the Conn Smythe Trophy after his performances in the first two games of the Final series. He was the hero in Game 1, getting a shutout, and has made 50 saves in the first two games, only allowing one goal. If he can stay on track for the next two games, he’ll be a major factor in Florida winning the Cup and virtually guarantee getting the Conn Smythe Trophy.

| Connor McDavid | +200 | +500 |
