Oilers Face Pivotal Game 4 as Panthers Push for Back-to-Back Stanley Cups
Alright, let’s talk about what’s going down in the Stanley Cup Final—it’s getting heated , both on the ice and in the odds. The Florida Panthers are currently holding a 2-1 lead over the Edmonton Oilers, and Game 4 is shaping up to be a defining moment in this series. After a dramatic overtime win for Edmonton in Game 1, Florida bounced back hard. Game 2 went to double OT and the Panthers took it, but it was Game 3 that really flipped the energy—Florida demolished Edmonton 6-1 in a game that erupted into a full-on brawl.

Seriously, that wasn’t just hockey. It was like a UFC event broke out mid-third period. Ten players—yeah, ten —were ejected after the gloves came off and the fists flew. You had cross-checks, broken sticks, and what looked like a couple of wrestling matches happening in parallel. It started when Trent Frederic cross-checked Sam Bennett, and suddenly it turned into a scene where no one was backing down. The most intense duel? Jonah Gadjovich and Darnell Nurse in a long, brutal fight that had the Florida crowd on their feet. Even the referees just let it ride until the two literally punched themselves tired.
Now, heading into Game 4 tonight, puck drops at 8 p.m. ET in Sunrise, Florida. This could be the turning point. If the Panthers win, they go up 3-1, and honestly, it’s hard to see Edmonton clawing back from that. Remember, they almost pulled off a comeback last year when they were down 3-0, but this Florida team seems a lot more dialed in now—like they’ve learned their lesson.
Expert picks are putting their chips on the Oilers tonight though. Eric Cohen from SportsLine is calling an Edmonton win, 4-2. He’s betting on McDavid to finally light the lamp—he hasn’t scored since Game 5 of the Western Conference Final, and it’s about time he reminds us why he’s one of the best in the game. Cohen also likes Evan Bouchard for an assist, which honestly makes sense—he’s had one in every game of the series so far.
The sportsbooks are leaning toward Florida, but just barely. Panthers are -149 favorites, Oilers sitting at +125 underdogs, and the over/under is 6.5 goals. For bettors, there’s decent value on Edmonton tonight—especially if they come out firing and play like their season’s on the line. Because, let’s be real, it kind of is.
So yeah, get ready. Whether you’re watching for the skill, the stakes, or the fights (no judgment), this game’s going to be a spectacle.
