Panthers Favored In Game 4, Oilers Mulling Goaltender Change

• The Panthers are -150 favorites to win Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals at home.
• The Edmonton Oilers are considering a switch at goalie after Stuart Skinner allowed five goals in Game 3.

SUNRISE, Fla. – Arguably the most pivotal game of the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals will take place Thursday night at Amerant Bank Arena as the Florida Panthers look to take a 3-1 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers.

Oilers vs Panthers Game 4 Odds

Legal sports betting sites favor the Panthers at home once again in Game 4 as they look to secure the last two wins en route to consecutive Stanley Cup titles, giving them -150 odds to win outright.

The best value for this game lies in the one and a half goal spread, with the Panthers given +163 odds to cover.

Florida has not been perfect at home this postseason, going 5-3 in Sunrise, but they have been dominant when necessary, winning four of their five games by multiple goals.

The Oilers lost their first two road games before winning four straight, but have since gone 2-2 in their last four road games, including their 6-1 blowout loss in Game 3.

Goalie Issues

Goalie Stuart Skinner of the Edmonton Oilers has gone just 3-4 on the road in these playoffs, allowing 3.62 goals per game with a .862 save percentage. Sergei Bobrovsky has been significantly better when playing at home, allowing just 1.96 goals per game with a .918 save percentage in eight games, leading to a 5-3 record.

Skinner’s horrid Game 3 performance, allowing five goals on just 23 shot attempts, has led to the Oilers considering starting Calvin Pickard for Game 4, which does not inspire confidence in either goaltender.

The Panthers’ deadline addition of Brad Marchand has paid huge dividends for Florida, as the 37-year-old veteran has scored at least one goal in each game of the Stanley Cup Finals. NHL betting sites give Marchand +275 odds to score a goal tonight.

With the Panthers’ offense heating up, scoring at least three goals in each game of the series, Bobrovsky catching fire at the right time, and the Oilers’ goaltender situation in shambles, it is a good time for sports bettors to take advantage of the +163 odds for Florida to cover the spread.
