LiontipsEdmonton - Florida: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Edmonton has been showing excellent results year after year, and this season was no exception. The team picked up pace throughout the regular season and approached the playoffs in the best possible shape, which it demonstrated during the draw itself. Already in the first round, a very serious opponent in the face of Los Angeles stood in the way of the Oilers, but after the first defeat, the team left no chance for the Kings and confidently advanced to the quarterfinals, where they also dealt with Vegas without any problems with a final score of 4:1.
It seemed that at least Dallas would be able to give a decent rebuff to the oilmen, but that didn't happen either. Knoblach's team started the series with a defeat (3:6), but in the second leg they did not even allow the Stars to score, winning a dry victory (3:0), and returning to the home arena, they completely defeated the opponent (6:3). In the remaining two matches, Edmonton played at the highest level, which allowed them to win the final two victories with a score of 4:1 and 6:3, respectively.

Current form
Florida has reached the Stanley Cup Finals for the third year in a row. With the arrival of head coach Paul Maurice, the team began to play with new colors and since then has consistently shown excellent hockey both in the regular season and in the playoffs. After the first defeat in the 2023 final, the club only added and earned its first Cup the following season. But even this did not stop the team, and it confidently reached the finals again, where it will try to prevail over Edmonton.
After a landslide victory over Tampa Bay in the opening series of the playoffs, the team faced an even more powerful competitor in the face of Toronto. As expected, the Maple Leafs fought to the very end and almost knocked out Florida, but the Panthers gathered all their strength in the final seventh match and left no chance for the leafs, defeating them with a score of 6:1. There were no expected problems in the semifinals with Carolina. The Panthers picked up a crazy pace and suffered only one defeat, and in almost all other meetings they left no chance for the hurricanes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Greer is still in doubt.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Florida makes 26 shots on target
- Panthers win 47.7% of face-offs

1.60Tip and bets
The bookmakers single out Edmonton as the favorite in the upcoming match, which we slightly disagree with. Yes, the Oilers are in great shape, and besides, they will play at home, where Florida is absolutely as good as its competitor, and also shows an amazing game on the road, where it has not lost for five consecutive matches. Face-to-face meetings are also worth noting. The clubs have met twice this season, and each time the Panthers have been stronger. We believe that we can take advantage of the high odds and place a bet in favor of the guests.
Our betting tip is that Florida will win the match in 2.15
