Analysis and forecast for the sixth game of the Edmonton-Florida series (06/22/2024)
On June 22, in Game 6 of the NHL playoff final series, Edmonton will host Florida at Rogers Place. The referee will put the puck into play at 3:00 Moscow time.
Volkov has no chance:
Sergei Pavlovich – Alexander Volkov. Drago will fall under the paratrooper’s roller.
The final playoff series is shaping up in surprising fashion. First, Florida swept Edmonton and won three games. It seemed like the Stanley Cup was already in the Panthers’ hands, but suddenly there was an Oilers resurgence. Connor McDavid remembered how to score goals and Leon Draisaitl supported him.
Being on the brink and losing the series 0-3, Edmonton restarted. The coaching staff finally found a weak point in the opposing defense and the Oilers scored 13 goals in two games. Sergei Bobrovsky, who played excellently during the playoffs, suddenly fell apart. It is likely that the Russians simply could not withstand the psychological pressure.
In the last meeting, Florida was expected to win. Fans and the media fueled rumors that the festive scenario was already resolved and the city was preparing for large-scale celebrations. But only the “oilers” opposed, who were encouraged after the 8:1 home victory.
The Oilers had good reason to expect success. Finally, the majority implementation team started working and the results came immediately. In the last game, which the Oilers won 5-3, they twice realized their numerical advantage and Connor Brown scored a minority goal.
The French will seek victory:
Netherlands – France. Griezmann will support Mbappé
It is still unclear what happened to Florida. The team, which emphasized tight defense, got into open hockey and made a mistake. Being in their element, Edmonton felt confident and won the most important game, reducing the series score to the minimum: 2-3.
Panthers head coach Paul Maurice is doing everything he can to keep the team in a stable psychological state. The coach noted in an interview that he was satisfied with the performance of his players in the fifth game of the series. In his opinion, they reacted correctly to the situation and there was no nervousness.
Much of Game 6 will depend on Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. During the playoffs he received only praise, but as soon as he made a couple of mistakes, the Russian immediately came under harsh criticism. The 35-year-old veteran has a strong character and two failed games are unlikely to faze him.
There will be many heads, but in which direction:
Poland-Austria. Unpredictable result!
“Florida” deviated from the usual scheme and allowed “Edmonton” to launch, in boxing terms, into a tough exchange of attacks. This matchup scenario is primarily beneficial for the Oilers, who have a stellar offense. Chances are, the Panthers coaching staff will draw the right conclusions. We suggest betting on a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.87.
Prediction and bets for the NHL playoff game Edmonton – Florida on June 22, 2024
The Panthers blew a significant lead in the series by succumbing to an opponent’s ploy that led them to open hockey. This is not at all their game and such experiments will not lead to any benefits in the playoffs. Florida will most likely return to a strong defense and focus at a crucial point in the season.
Tender: total less than 5.5 goals for 1.87.
