The Florida Panthers host the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals early on Friday morning. The Panthers hold a 2-1 lead in the series ahead of our prediction on how this crucial game will unfold.

It has been a hugely entertaining series for neutral fans so far with 23 goals across the three games. Eight of Florida's 14 goals have been scored by Brad Marchand or Sam Bennett, both with four, having found the net in each of the three games of the series.

The Panthers did a great job of keeping the Oilers' stars quiet in the first game in Florida. Conor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl had two shots between them all game.

There have been plenty of issues for the Oilers between the pipes in the postseason and it is unclear at this point who will start, Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard. Pickard is 6-0 but has just a .888 save percentage while Skinner's is just .894.

That is going to give the Panthers plenty of confidence that they can continue to light the lamp on a regular basis. Edmonton playing more defensively doesn't come naturally which leaves them open to the Panthers.
