The Stanley Cup Final will begin on Saturday when the Panthers host the Oilers in Game 1 at Amerant Bank Arena.'
The Panthers are entering the Stanley Cup Final as a -130 favorite. After an excellent regular season that saw them win the Atlantic Division, the Panthers have remained dominant this playoffs. They have knocked out some tough opponents in the Lightning, Bruins, and Rangers. Now, they will look to make up for last season's Stanley Cup Final loss and win this year against Edmonton.'
The Oilers, on the other hand, are entering this series as the +110 underdog. Edmonton's road to the Stanley Cup has also had some challenges, as they defeated the Predators, Canucks, and, most impressively, the favored Stars. Now, they will look to upset the Panthers and give a Canada their first Stanley Cup since 1993.'
There are reasons to believe that both of these clubs can win. Here's a look at the Stanley Cup odds and my prediction for the series.'
