Oilers vs Panthers
(NHL) Oilers (EDM) vs. Panthers (FLA),
Total: 5.50 | 125.00 Over
Result: Loss
Some real inconsistencies out there in regard to "totals" pricing in Game 7, but we'll take advantage of some of these plus prices on the "over" while we can. The oddsmakers are continuing to stick with the traditional 5.5 goals despite the fact the scorelines have gone "over" in the last four games, with 30 total goals scored across that span as the Oilers have solved Sergei Bobrovsky, and even sent him to the bench in Game 4. What can also happen, even more so in an elimination game, is what we saw in game 6, when Paul Maurice pulled Bobrovsky early when staring at a 3-1 deficit, and Edmonton capitalized not once, but twice in rapid order. We have seen those dynamics before in elimination games when teams, especially when down by more than one goal and with nothing to lose, opt for extra attacker very early in often-vain attempts to get back in the game. It rarely works and more often results in expanding scorelines, which we saw again on Friday. Play Oilers-Panthers "Over"
