What the Panthers need to do to win Game 4
-
Expect the Oilers' best effort of the series, especially early. Look at what the Dallas Mavericks did in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
-
Repeat their successful formula. Aggressive forechecking with support from all five skaters on the ice. Pounce on mistakes. Timely saves from Sergei Bobrovsky. That's how they managed to shut down the Oilers' stars and others before them in the playoffs.
-
Stay out of the penalty box. They're 10-for-10 on the penalty kill so far, but Edmonton has too much firepower.
What the Oilers need to do to win Game 4
-
Be aware of their surroundings. The Panthers excel at forcing turnovers and turning them into scoring chances. Edmonton made too many mistakes in Game 3.
-
Shoot high on Bobrovsky and get more traffic in front of him. That's how they scored three goals last game.
-
Don't be afraid to use Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl together earlier in the game. It worked in the third period Thursday night.
