Now, the Edmonton Oilers are favoured to win Game 2 on home ice, where they are 7-1 this postseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Panthers vs. Oilers best bets for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, featuring Corey Perry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Panthers vs. Oilers best bets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/ice_hockey\/competitions\/10011\"><strong>Full NHL betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nhl-injury-report-2\"><strong>NHL injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nhl\/standings\"><strong>NHL player stats<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nhl\/standings\"><strong>NHL standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Over 5.5 goals \u2014 regular time only (-154)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m comfortable taking the over on this number anytime the Oilers play at home \u2014 and that&#8217;s simply because they&#8217;re going to score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edmonton has netted at least three goals in all eight of its home playoff games. In those contests, it is averaging 4.63 goals per game, and the over is 6-2 against this line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are one of the best duos we&#8217;ve ever seen in the playoffs, and they led the charge on Wednesday with two points apiece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t think anyone or anybody is capable of stopping them right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I expect some pushback from the Panthers, who have been on an offensive rampage of their own. Florida is averaging 4.0 goals per game since the beginning of the Eastern Conference Final, and the over is 4-2-0 against this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stuart Skinner was good when it mattered last night, but I still don&#8217;t trust him to keep scoring down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This should be a track meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> The over is 6-0-0 against this line in Edmonton dating back to last year&#8217;s Stanley Cup Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stanley Cup Final Game 2 picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perry 1+ points (-106):<\/strong> Perry is the most seasoned veteran in the league, and he&#8217;s riding shotgun with one of the best players of all time. That sounds like a good combination to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Perry-McDavid-Draisaitl line played 9:36 together in Game 1, generating a 70.83% Corsi rate and four scoring chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perry also logged 6:46 with McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and receives top power-play minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anytime Perry is on the ice, McDavid is right beside him. In overtime, the 40-year-old recorded a secondary assist on Draisaitl&#8217;s game-winning goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LEON DRAISAITL WINS GAME 1 IN <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Energizer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ENERGIZER<\/a> OVERTIME FOR THE EDMONTON OILERS\u203c\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/StanleyCup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#StanleyCup<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sFdPUR6WcP\">pic.twitter.com\/sFdPUR6WcP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NHL (@NHL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHL\/status\/1930472705511301292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 5, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Perry has points in three consecutive games since being moved up the lineup after Zach Hyman&#8217;s injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Panthers vs. Oilers best bets made at 8:20 a.m. ET 06\/06\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Stanley Cup Final continues in Edmonton on Friday following a spectacular series opener.
