The Florida Panthers (52-24-6, 26-13-2 home) moved within three wins of the franchise’s first championship on Saturday with a 3-0 shutout of the Edmonton Oilers (49-27-6, 21-18-2 away) in opening game of the 2024 Stanley Cup final.

The Panthers can take a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series on Monday night in Sunrise, FL, when they host the Oilers in Game 2 at 8:10 pm ET at Amerant Bank Arena.

Just like in the series-opener, Florida is a slight favorite in the Oilers vs Panthers Game 2 odds.

Both teams are remarkably healthy for this time of year. On the Edmonton side, deadline acquisition Troy Stecher remains out with an ankle injury. Stecher hasn’t played since April 18.

Florida’s injury report ahead of Game 2 lists winger Ryan Lomberg as “day-to-day” with an undisclosed illness. Center Sam Bennett is also day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Lomberg sat out Game 1 while Bennett played 15:57 and registered one assist and two shots on goal along with a game-high 11 hits.

NHL player props from DraftKings on June 10.

Despite getting shutout in Game 1, the player props for Game 2  still list postseason scoring leader Connor McDavid at -115 to record a multipoint game. McDavid has 31 points in 19 playoff games to date, including 13 points in his last nine, five of which were multipoint games.

Aleksander Barkov (-195) and Sam Reinhart (-190) have the shortest odds to record a point among Florida players. Barkov is tied for the team lead in playoff scoring (alongside Matthew Tkachuk) at 19. Reinhart led the Panthers in the regular season in goals (57) and points (94), both of which were career-highs.

Edmonton Oilers vs Florida Panthers Game 2 Predictions

The Oilers dominated the shots (32-18) and shot attempts (53-33) in Game 1. Edmonton somehow ended up on the losing end despite a 5.61 to 1.88 edge in Expected Goals For (xGA), according to moneypuck.com. That “somehow” of course can be named as Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who lowered his playoff GAA to 2.37 and upped his save percentage to .915 with the Game 1 shutout.

Bobrovsky also had a solid .915 SV% last year during Florida’s run to the 2023 finals, which the injury-riddled Panthers lost in five games to Vegas.

At the other end, Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner looked shaky – just as he did early in the first and second rounds against the Kings and Canucks. Skinner now has a subpar .897 save percentage this playoffs and .891 postseason SV% including last year. The fact that he’s in the conversation for Canada’s starting goalie at the 2026 Olympics is a testament to the weak state of Canadian goaltending.

Edmonton might carry the majority of the play again in Game 2, but their defense corps (especially the bottom-two pairs) are mistake prone and Skinner isn’t likely to bail them out.

EDM vs FLA Game 2 picks:

  • Panthers moneyline (-130)
  • McDavid under 1.5 points (-115)
  • Nugent-Hopkins over 1.5 shots on goal (-150)
