Panthers Looking for Wins, Solid Goaltending
This season hasn’t been the cakewalk the Panthers experienced last season. Most of it is because they’re simply not getting the same goaltending out of veteran Sergei Bobrovsky (4-5-1, 3.62 GA) that they have in the past. Bobrovsky eventually lost his starting job to Spencer Knight, who has been slightly better but we don’t think the Panther brass was ready just yet to hand over the reins to Knight who is 6-3-2, 2.63 goals against.
In their recent loss against the St. Louis Blues, the Panthers held a 3-0 leaf before the Blues stormed back to win 5-4 in overtime. That would have never happened on home ice last season. Bettors think of this NHL match-up as one that would produce a bunch of goals, but that hasn’t been the case with four straight games failing to produce an over result. Let’s continue our Panthers vs Oilers betting odds by diving into the Oilers next.
Oilers Finding Out Pacific Division Presents New Challenges
Last season, the Oilers cruised to a playoff spot, but 22-23 is proving to be a tougher task with the emergence of the Vegas Golden Knights and the Seattle Kraken. With both of these teams coming off massive comeback wins, it was the Oilers crawling back from a 3-0 deficit in New York against the Rangers that may signify that they’re ready to go on a long run.
They face a challenge not necessarily from the Panthers, but from this being the first game of a long road trip. This is usually where you catch teams napping because it takes a game to get acclimated. To conclude our Panthers vs Oilers betting odds, it’s not the side that’s going to give us our winner tonight.
Panthers Surprising Road Favorite
When the number came out, we thought it may have been an oversight. The Panthers are a slight road favorite, telling us exactly how the oddsmakers feel about the Edmonton Oilers. From a side viewpoint, we haven’t seen anything out of the Panthers netminders to give us that kind of confidence, but bettors are right with them with over 80% of the moneyline money coming in on the Panthers.
Both fit in this category tonight, giving bettors the clear option of going under the total.
The number opened at -111, so that push by the public has only pushed it up some. To conclude our, Panthers vs Oilers betting odds, we’re more focused on the total. There are times when NHL teams hit the reset button, meaning they get back to playing better defensively. That happens when a team returns home after a road trip and it happens after a team gives up an ugly loss. Both fit in this category tonight, giving bettors the clear option of going under the total.
