The Florida Panthers took their first lead of the series with their Game 3 victory, as the pressure mounts while we look ahead to your Oilers vs Panthers Game 4 predictions. Florida dominated Edmonton the entire contest, scoring inside the first minute before running away with a 6-1 victory. A big win for the Panthers should not come as a surprise since they have won two games by four or more goals in each of their three previous series victories this season. Twelve players recorded at least one point in that blowout, and the Panthers will now try to take a commanding 3-1 lead with them to Edmonton this weekend. However, all hope is not lost for the Oilers. Edmonton battled back from a 0-3 deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals last season and is just one win away from regaining home ice advantage. Can the duo of McDavid and Draisaitl overcome the Panthers’ offense, or will the reigning champions’ depth be too much to overcome? Let’s jump into your Panthers vs Oilers Game 4 predictions to find out.

Expert Prediction: Who Wins?
Why the Edmonton Oilers Could Win
The Edmonton Oilers are now playing with their backs against the wall, and their desperation could turn them into a fantastic Oilers vs Panthers Game 4 prediction. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl deserve plenty of the spotlight, but the future of this series hinges on the play of the rest of the Oilers team. Evan Bouchard has been able to contribute from the blue line, but Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is the only other player with 15 or more points this postseason. Corey Perry, Evander Kane, and Connor Brown have contributed too, but the loss of Zach Hyman has stretched an already thin group of forwards even thinner.
While the lack of depth scoring is certainly a concern, the Oilers can win this game if they get a strong showing in goal. No amount of depth scoring will allow Edmonton to win games when they allow six goals, and there could be a change in goal for the Oilers in Game 4. Stuart Skinner was pulled late in Game 3 for Calvin Pickard, and Pickard could get the nod for this crucial game. Whoever is in net for Edmonton, their play will be a crucial factor in determining who prevails for your Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers Game 4 predictions.

Why the Florida Panthers Could Win
The Florida Panthers do not want to head back to Edmonton tied up, and a 3-1 lead would put them in a great position to win a second straight Stanley Cup. Brad Marchand has been the hero of this series with four goals in the first three games, but what makes this team great is not one player. Florida does an excellent job of generating offense regardless of who is on the ice. Florida has 11 players with 12 or more points in the playoffs, while Edmonton has just six. The Panthers may not have the two best players on the ice, but they have the better goaltender, defense, bottom-six forwards, and home ice advantage. We could always see some McDavid magic, but more often than not, the Panthers grind out another impressive victory.
