The Oilers enter this decisive game with tremendous momentum, having won three straight games against the Panthers, including a dominant 5-1 victory in Game 6. Connor McDavid's extraordinary playmaking and leadership have been instrumental, while Stuart Skinner's reliable goaltending has provided a solid last line of defense.

In two of their last three meetings in Edmonton, which date back to the 2022 campaign, the Panthers' defense has kept the Oilers to one goal or fewer. In three consecutive games overall, they have also limited Edmonton to one goal or fewer.

Although the Oilers lead the series, they lost the next two games even though they had the upper hand after winning the first game. Should that recur, they would ultimately lose the series.

After dropping both of their meetings in Vancouver during the regular season, Edmonton has now lost two of the three games played there in this series.

Special teams play a big part in Edmonton's postseason success, but the Oilers suffer when they don't perform well. This was demonstrated in Game 5 when, despite continuing to limit the Canucks' power play, the Oilers were ineffective when they had the man advantage.

The Avalanche have shown they can rebound from adversity and with the energy of the Ball Arena crowd, they are expected to perform at their best. The home advantage and their need to stay in the series will drive the Avalanche to a crucial victory in Game 6.

The Boston Bruins are determined not to lose another game at home, especially with the stakes this high. Their solid home record and recent win against the Panthers give them a psychological edge.

Got the Dub for Rangers and Canucks!

The Oilers, despite their high-powered offense, have struggled with consistency and goaltending issues, which the Canucks can exploit. Vancouver's home ice advantage and overall team depth make them the favorites to win this pivotal game and take the lead in the series.

It is difficult to stop the Avalanche's offensive approach, which comes in waves, so Dallas will need to play better for the entire 60 minutes.

Although the Hurricanes' offensive has improved, their defense has fallen short, giving up eight goals in the first two games. Although Jaccob Slavin and Brent Burns have led the way, the rest of the team has not performed well.

In their five-game victory over the Kings, Edmonton scored 22 goals, including 9 of 20 while they had the man advantage. The offensive prowess of the Oilers proved to be too much for the injured Canucks to handle in this game.
