Skinner to start Game 7 for Oilers
Stuart Skinner will be between the pipes for Game 7 on the road against the Panthers on Monday. Skinner and the Oilers will be looking for a fourth consecutive win and the Stanley Cup title in Monday’s matchup. Over the last three outings, the 25-year-old netminder is sporting a 1.67 GAA and .942 save percentage. The Edmonton-born netminder will go up against Sergei Bobrovsky in the other crease heading into the final game of the 2023-24 campaign.
Bobrovsky to start for Panthers in series decider
Sergei Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease Monday in Game 7 against Edmonton, according to Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post. Bobrovsky will be back on the ice for Monday’s morning skate after skipping Sunday’s session for routine-related reasons. He has surrendered 12 goals on 58 shots during his three-game losing streak. Bobrovsky needs to end that skid Monday for the Panthers to avoid becoming the second team in NHL history to blow a 3-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. The 35-year-old netminder has a 15-8 record with a 2.38 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 23 starts this postseason.

Oilers vs. Panthers Game 7 Betting Prediction
Take Florida. I have taken the Panthers in every meeting between these two teams this series and I certainly won’t back down now, even given Florida’s collapse. The Panthers are still 19-8 in their last 27 games overall, are 13-4 in their last 17 home matchups and are 14-6 in their last 20 non-conference contests. I believed the Panthers were more built like a playoff team than the Oilers coming into the series and I won’t change my mind now. They will prevail.
