Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview

The Oilers have lost their last four games, with the recent three being on the road, and have a tough battle ahead of them with this upcoming matchup. Their most recent defeat was a 4-1 outing against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Edmonton took a brief lead with the first goal of the game in the first period from Leon Draisaitl. However, a strong second period from the Lightning began to push this game out of reach. Draisaitl currently leads the team with 87 points and 43 goals.

The line goal from the Oilers came from a power play opportunity. They had taken 24 shots but allowed the Lightning to stay aggressive with 36 shot attempts. They also allowed the Lighting to have better opportunities with faceoffs, with a percentage at 57.7.

Florida Panthers Betting Preview

The Panthers are 3-2 over their previous five games and have a good opportunity to improve at home. Their recent battle was a 4-1 victory against the Nashville Predators.

One story here was that Justin Sourdif landed his first career goal, the second in the game. Florida has won twice against Nashville this season, scoring six goals in the first meeting and having no issues on both ends of the ice for each battle. Four different players landed a goal here, showing scoring ability everywhere you look.

Florida took 25 shots and held the Predators to 19, with much better accuracy. The Panthers had five power play opportunities and only scored on one, so this is something they need to capitalize on if they find these situations against the Oilers.

The Panthers are producing 3.27 goals and 31.7 shot attempts per game. Their defense has allowed 2.85 goals and 27.0 shots from opposing teams each game. This differential is slightly better than the Oilers on both ends of the ice.
