SGP predictions for Panthers vs. Oilers
Besides Connor McDavid, Evan Bouchard is the most productive Oiler on home ice in the playoffs. Eighteen of his 28 points have come at Rogers Place, including 14 of 22 assists. His presence at the point on the power play and when the team establishes a forecheck are crucial to the Oilers' success.
He will log a ton of ice time in Game 3 and should be even more motivated than most to make up for his giveaway in the third period of Game 2 that led directly to Evan Rodrigues' winner.
Bouchard has registered at least one helper in five of the last six contests at Rogers Place. FanDuel offers odds of -120 for this part of the parlay, which implies a 54.55% probability.
Will the real Draisaitl please wake up? Draisaitl led the Oilers in scoring halfway through the postseason, but his production endured a precipitous decline beginning with the start of the Western Conference Final. Draisaitl has logged just four points over Edmonton's last eight games and is averaging 2.25 shots per contest during that sluggish stretch.
Game 3 might offer Draisaitl his last chance to step up and return to his form from the first and second rounds. He's marginally more productive on home ice and should be looking to test Bobrovsky early and often like the rest of his teammates.
Despite his recent struggles, he's fired at least three shots on goal in 13 of 20 playoff games. FanDuel offers odds of -144 for this leg of the prop, implying a 59.02% probability.
I expect Bobrovsky to be as busy as he was in Game 1. The Oilers must throw more on goal if they hold any chance of winning Game 3. Bobrovsky is playing so well that the increased volume won't concern him. He made 32 saves in his Game 1 shutout and will likely be dialed in again on Thursday.
The Oilers average 30.3 shots per game on home ice during the postseason and should match that. I feel this prop will hit if the Oilers get 28-plus shots. This leg of the parlay offers odds of -125, implying a 55.56% probability.
