Leg 1: Edmonton Oilers Moneyline (-138)

The Panthers have pulled out to a 2-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final.
Edmonton was the superior team in Game 1 but had nothing to show for it. Florida responded with a strong effort in Game 2.
The Panthers have done a great job at shutting down star talent in this postseason, but it’s much harder to do so when you don’t control the matchups as the visitors.
The Oilers have demonstrated they can play with the Panthers through two games, even if the series score suggests otherwise.
Edmonton has plenty of talent in its own right, which should be on full display tonight in Game 3, with its season all but on the line.
The Panthers arrived late last night in Edmonton because of weather issues, which only adds intrigue to backing the Oilers in Game 3 at home.

Leg 2: Under 5.5 Total Goals (-118)

Despite both teams having plenty of star power, seeing a low-scoring series isn’t surprising.
The Oilers have scored just one goal through two games. Even if we realistically expect that trend to end, there’s a clear defensive mindset to limit the mistakes from both sides in this series.
We’ve seen 3-0 and 4-1 scores through two games. Both matchups ultimately went under the number, and we’re looking for that trend to continue tonight in Game 3.
The Oilers and Panthers are two of the top teams in the NHL at suppressing scoring chances, which should create another low-scoring atmosphere with Edmonton now controlling the matchups at home.

Leg 3: Connor McDavid Anytime Goal Scorer (+135)

If the Oilers hope to cut the series deficit in half tonight, they’ll need the best version of Connor McDavid to make a significant impact.
Through 20 games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, McDavid has tallied 32 points.
The goals haven’t necessarily come at a high clip for McDavid, with only five over that span.
The Oilers need a similar effort from McDavid to the one they saw in Game 6 to close out the series at home against the Dallas Stars.
With strong plus-money value for the best player in the world to score, we’re content taking that value and running with it.
