The Edmonton Oilers have made a roaring comeback to force a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals. After going down 3-0 the Oilers led by superstar Connor McDavid have found success and tied the series.
Now with the Florida Panthers on the ropes the Edmonton Oilers are looking to close out one of the most miraculous comebacks in sports history. The last time that a team was able to come back from down 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals was the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs. With the game just hours away the betting lines have been set.
Despite losing 3 games in a row the betting odds when it comes to the spread still favor the Florida Panthers according to BetMGM. They come in at a -1.5 which likely could be attributed to playing at home in Game 7 where they had success early in the series.
When looking at the moneyline however things become more even. Both teams right now are slated at -110 to win the game according to BetMGM. This means that the oddsmakers feel the game is as close as can be between two sides like this.
Finally, when it comes to how many goals will be scored in this game the oddsmakers are favoring on the side of talent coming to play. Over 5 goals being scored in tonight's Game 7 is a significant favorite compared to under 5 goals being scored.
These lines are all fun to look at but the true determination will be made on the ice. The Edmonton Oilers will need Connor McDavid and Stuart Skinner to continue their high-level play. For the Florida Panthers they need one more magnificent game from Sergei Bobrovsky to close out the series.
Puck drop is set for 8 pm in one of the most crucial and exciting games in the history of the NHL. Grab your popcorn and get ready to watch the fireworks that these two teams will bring.
