The Stanley Cup Final has lived up to the hype through four games with the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers deadlocked at two apiece heading into a pivotal Game 5 at Rogers Place.

Brad Marchand has been a key contributor for Florida so far in the series with four points and I’m expecting him to find the score sheet again tonight.

Brad Marchand Over 0.5 points (+100 at BET99)

After collecting four goals through the first three games of the Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers finally held Brad Marchand off the score sheet in Game 4 en route to a crucial 5-4 overtime win against the Florida Panthers.

The series shifts back to Rogers Place in Edmonton tonight for Game 5 where I’m expecting Marchand to make an impact.

The veteran forward has been a road warrior this postseason, collecting 14 of his 18 points as the visitor, while finding the score sheet in three straight road games and eight of his last 10. Believe it or not, but the only players with more road points in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs are Leon Draisiatl (17) and Sam Bennett (15).

Marchand has been an integral part of the Panthers third line alongside Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen as that trio has dominated throughout this postseason.

That line has outscored the opposition 12-3 at 5-on-5 – by far the highest goal total and differential of any trio Florida has put out on the ice – so I’m banking on them to combine on at least one more tonight.

Florida is averaging exactly 4 gpg in these playoffs and 4.5 gpg in the Stanley Cup Final, so chances are Marchand and his linemates factor on at least one goal in Game 5.

Speaking of road warriors, Sam Bennett has scored 12 of his NHL-leading 14 goals as the visitor this postseason. The Panthers forward had his four-game goal streak snapped in Game 4 but with 14 tallies in 21 contests during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, you have to like Bennett’s chances of finding the back of the net in Game 5.

Every game in the Stanley Cup Final has produced at least seven goals, with an average total of 8. The Oilers and Panthers have also hit the Over in six straight meetings and nine of their last 10, so there’s no reason to expect anything but another high-scoring, back-and-forth affair in Game 5.
