Recommended Bets: Oilers vs Panthers
Game 2 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers is set for Friday, June 6, at 8:00 PM at Rogers Place in Edmonton. The game will be broadcast live on TNT, truTV, and Max in the United States, and on Sportsnet, CBC, and TVAS in Canada.
In Game 1, the Oilers secured a thrilling 4–3 overtime victory, with Leon Draisaitl scoring the game-winning goal on a power play. The Panthers had initially taken a 3–1 lead, but Edmonton rallied with goals from Viktor Arvidsson and Mattias Ekholm to tie the game, setting the stage for Draisaitl's heroics.
This series marks the first back-to-back Stanley Cup Final rematch since the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings faced off in 2008 and 2009. Last year, the Panthers defeated the Oilers in a seven-game series to claim their first-ever championship.
Both teams enter Game 2 relatively healthy. The Panthers' Eetu Luostarinen and Anton Lundell are expected to be available, while the Oilers' Connor Brown is also anticipated to return to the lineup.
With Edmonton leading the series 1–0, Game 2 presents a crucial opportunity for Florida to even the series before it shifts to Sunrise for Games 3 and 4.

Our Betting Recommendation
Edmonton heads into Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final riding high after a dramatic comeback win in the series opener. Leon Draisaitl’s overtime winner capped off a gutsy rally that saw the Oilers erase a 3–1 deficit and stun the Panthers on home ice. Connor McDavid continues to fuel the offense with surgical playmaking, while Evan Bouchard’s quarterbacking of the power play remains lethal.
Florida had some control in Game 1, but couldn’t hold up once Edmonton cranked up the tempo in the third period. With the Oilers’ top line buzzing and special teams clicking, Game 2 sets up perfectly for Edmonton to tighten their grip on the series before heading to Sunrise.
Our betting recommendation: Oilers to win and to score over 3.5 goals.
Prediction: 5–3 Oilers.
