A long road trip for Edmonton. They had a chance to go up 2-0 in the series but lost a gut-punching double-overtime game at home, 5-4, despite having a 6-4 edge in power plays. They had a 10-6 edge with a man advantage in the first two games, but now Florida has home ice. Defending champion Florida has gone 53-25-4 at home in the last two regular seasons, plus 13-7 at home in the playoffs. The Panthers have a strong forecheck and out-hit the Oilers in Game 2, 60-39. The Oilers lost the first two games in Florida last year by a 7-1 count, so they have the home ice advantage. Play Florida.
