Even though the venue remains the same, the Oilers and Panthers have had a rare 2 full days off between Game 3 and Game 4. That might do the Oilers some good, as they didn’t adjust well to the series shifting from Alberta to South Florida, resulting in a 6-1 loss in Game 2. Stuart Skinner continues to have an up-and-down postseason, and he allowed 5 goals in Game 3 before eventually getting pulled. the performance was reminiscent of his play in the first round against the Los Angeles Kings, when he temporarily lost his job. The 26-year-old netminder has now allowed 13 total goals in the first 3 games of this series, and with the way the Florida offense is rolling right now, he could have his hands full again in Game 4.
The Oilers potted 8 total goals between Game 1 and Game 2 before finding the back of the net just once in Game 3. After 2 days off, look for Connor McDavid and company to be a little fresher and more energized. Edmonton knows that they’ll need to score early and often if they want to avoid a 3-1 hole, and while Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky has been solid in the postseason, he has not been overwhelmingly dominant. All in all, look for Game 4 to be another high-scoring affair.

Sergei Bobrovsky Over 26.5 saves (-112)
As mentioned, Edmonton should be a bit more energized after 2 full days of rest between games. They also should have a better game plan in the offensive zone after being held to just a single goal in Game 3. With desperation perhaps beginning to set in, don’t be surprised if the Oilers come out firing. The Oilers have put 125 shots on goal through 3 games, which is good for an average of 41.67 shots per game. Those numbers are a bit inflated because of the overtime games, but still, Edmonton could want to put the pressure on Bobrovsky early, which could result in a high shot total. Owning a postseason save percentage of .916 so far, look for the veteran netminder to be ready.
Aaron Ekblad to record an assist (+134)
After being held off the score sheet in the first 2 games of this series, Aaron Ekblad potted a goal in Game 3. He is still without an assist in the series, which means he could be due. Ekblad racked up 30 assists throughout the course of the regular season. Despite being limited to just 56 games, his 30 helpers led Florida defensemen. Ekblad has tallied 8 assists through 16 postseason games, and has yet to go 4 games without an assist. He is averaging almost 24 minutes of ice time in the postseason, and played over 33 minutes in each of the first 2 games. The puck is on his stick a lot when manning Florida’s top power play unit, and he is a skilled passer who thrives at putting his teammates in positions to score. Look for Ekblad to record an assist tonight.
