Under 5.5 (-115)
Until trends change even a little bit, the under has been a reliable play and these teams have yet to give a reason to not expect a low-scoring game. The under has hit in the Panthers’ last 5 games, as well as in 5 of their last 6 on the road. The total has also gone under in 4 of the Oilers’ last 5 games and in 6 of their last 9 played against the Panthers.
Despite the offensive firepower between these teams, it is their goal prevention that they have flexed to this point. Neither team is likely to deviate from what has worked for them this postseason. For both teams, what has worked for both of them is locking down the opponent and minimizing high-percentage chances. That recipe should make for another low total.
Connor McDavid over 0.5 goals (+115)
Even if we get another low total in Game 3, someone has to score. Why wouldn’t it be Connor McDavid? McDavid leads all skaters in the playoffs with 32 points in 20 games played along with a +6 rating. That brings his career postseason production to 34 goals and 107 points in 69 total games.
While McDavid’s 2024 postseason has been more assist-heavy, tonight represents his first career home Stanley Cup Final game. This is already the most talented player on the planet and already one of the best in history. Tonight, he will have even more of a jump in his step with the energy, excitement, and adrenaline of leading his team out there in his first ever home Cup Final game. McDavid scoring brings solid value to this Panthers vs Oilers Same Game Parlay.
