Pivotal Encounter in Game 6: Panthers vs. Oilers for the Stanley Cup Championship
The highly anticipated Game 6 of the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers is scheduled for Tuesday night in South Florida. The series, known for its high-octane offensive play, has so far averaged 7.8 goals per game, with every game going for at least seven goals.
Interestingly, NHL betting sites have set a goal total of less than seven for Game 6, bucking the trend of the series so far. Three games in the series have had at least three goals scored in the opening period, with the highest-scoring first period recording five goals in Game 2. In every game, at least two goals have been scored in the opening period.
Legal sports betting sites are leaning towards the Florida Panthers with a 1.5-point spread in Game 6. The moneyline for the matchup is Oilers (+130) vs. Panthers (-150). For those seeking additional plus-money opportunities, there are +170 odds for over a 7-goal total and +225 odds for over 7.5 goals in the game.
Despite the lack of specific Game 6 betting lines, the Florida Panthers have been favored to win the series in the seasons following their 2023 Finals matchup. The Panthers typically held odds around +600 to +750 for the 2025-26 Stanley Cup, with the Oilers close behind at around +750 to +800. The Panthers were highlighted for their strong offensive (4.09 goals per game) and defensive (giving up 2.44 goals per game) performances in the 2025 playoffs, which suggests they had a competitive edge in postseason play.
In general, NHL Stanley Cup Finals betting involves betting on which team will win outright (moneyline), a goal handicap given to the underdog to level the playing field (spread), and predicting whether the total combined goals scored will be over or under a set number (total goals).
For those seeking historical or specific game betting trends for the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals, consultation of archived sportsbooks or NHL event-specific betting analysis from 2023 directly would be necessary.
