NHL Money-Maker
(NHL) Panthers (FLA) vs. Oilers (EDM),
Money Line: -135.00 Oilers (EDM) (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Oilers.

1) Edmonton has been so much more resilient compared to past seasons and this includes performing particularly well when off B2B losses. I look for them to respond off the Game 1 and Game 2 losses here on home ice.

2) The Oilers responded in a big way off recent losses as they got behind big performances from goalie Stuart Skinner who has proven his doubters wrong many times over in these playoffs already. I expect this scenario to play out again here now that the Oil are back in Edmonton.

3) Florida deserves much respect and the betting markets are giving them that as well. My take is the home ice Oilers are going to do what they have been doing for much of the season ever since the mid-way point...bounce back off B2B losses! Not just strong in the regular season, note that Edmonton is 5-2 in the post-season when off a loss!

T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Oilers.
