Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The statistical profile of both teams suggests a low-scoring game, justifying the 'Under 10.5' bet. The Florida Panthers have averaged 1 goal per game in their last 5 overall games and 0.8 goals per game in their last 5 home games. Similarly, the Edmonton Oilers have struggled offensively, averaging 0.4 goals per game in their last 5 away games and failing to score at all in their overall last 5 games. Both teams have also been relatively solid defensively, with the Panthers conceding an average of 3.2 goals in their overall last 5 games and the Oilers conceding an average of 3.6 goals in their last 5 away games. Furthermore, the model prediction of 1.25 goals indicates a low-scoring game. Therefore, the sum total of both teams' goals is highly unlikely to exceed 10.5, making 'Under 10.5' a statistically sound bet.

The Edmonton Oilers are a strong choice for a 4.5 point spread, primarily due to their comparative defensive performance. The Oilers have consistently limited their opponents' goals, with an average of only 3.6 goals against per game in their last 5 away games compared to the Panthers' higher 3.2 average. Despite having a weaker overall record recently, the Oilers' defensive stats suggest they could keep the score difference under 4.5. The Panthers, on the other hand, have struggled to score at home, averaging only 0.8 goals per game, which further supports the rationale of a closer game. Additionally, the model prediction is quite low (0.12), indicating a potential underestimation of the Oilers' chances. Therefore, the statistical data suggests that the Oilers can cover a 4.5 point spread against the Panthers.
