The Panthers hold a 2-0 series lead over the Oilers, and Florida has looked dominant in both matchups. The team has only conceded one goal in the series, which is highly impressive because Edmonton possesses one of the best offenses in the NHL.

Florida’s goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky has been outstanding throughout the NHL playoffs this year, and he has continued to play well during the Stanley Cup Finals. He has a total of 50 saves in this series, making it difficult for the Oilers to find any success offensively.

Alongside their impeccable defense, the Panthers been efficient on the offensive end thus far. Florida has scored seven goals in just two games, and three of them have been produced by the team’s center Evan Rodrigues. Prior to this series, Rodrigues only scored three goals in the postseason this year. So, he has overperformed to help the Panthers win the first two games.

The Oilers will be reliant on Zach Hyman and Leon Draisaitl to score during game 3 tonight, as they are the only Edmonton players with double digit goals this postseason. The team has been unable to find much success against Bobrovsky, which must change for Edmonton to win any games in this series.

The Oilers will also need Connor McDavid to step up, as he leads the team with 27 assists this postseason. His passing and playmaking will be vital for Edmonton to win tonight’s matchup.
