Edmonton Oilers 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
The Edmonton Oilers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the sixth consecutive season this year. Last year, the Oilers lost a heartbreaker to the Florida Panthers in a seven-game Stanley Cup Final. Kris Knoblauch has proven to be an astute choice as the head coach since taking over during the 2023-24 season. However, Edmonton remains a top-heavy team lacking substantial quality in its secondary support. Still, the Oilers have the best player in the game with Connor McDavid. Additionally, they boast one of the NHL’s great goal scorers in Leon Draisaitl.
For the second consecutive year, the Edmonton Oilers found heartbreak in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, losing to the Florida Panthers in six games.

Edmonton Oilers History
The Oilers were born as a member of the World Hockey Association in 1972. They are best remembered for putting one of the greatest teams in NHL history on the ice in the 1980s. Edmonton won five Stanley Cups from 1984 through 1990. Those teams lit up the marquee with stars such as Paul Coffey, Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri, and Mark Messier.
When Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988, Canada mourned and burned in effigy the then-owner of the Edmonton Oilers, Peter Pocklington. But in 1990, the remaining players rallied to win the franchise’s fifth and final Stanley Cup.
Following that last Stanley Cup, the Oilers suffered the same fate as other Canadian teams in the 1990s. The Canadian dollar was weak at the time, and there was no salary cap. However, in 2006, the NHL was emerging from a lockout and a lost season. The league was able to win a hard-fought salary cap battle. Edmonton quickly took advantage and made the Stanley Cup final, losing to the Carolina Hurricanes in a thrilling series.
In 2015, the Oilers drafted Connor McDavid, a transformational player, first overall in the NHL Draft. McDavid was the spark that the franchise needed. However, with his arrival came expectations that were overly high and perhaps unrealistic. McDavid’s arrival was the asset that sparked the creation of the Oilers' new arena, which rates among the best in the world.
Additionally, the passionate Edmonton fan base has a level of faith that has been lacking since the days of Gretzky and Messier. Since the strong finish to the 2021-22 season, the Oilers are finally reaching their full potential.
