The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers meet Thursday in NHL action at the Rogers Place. The Florida Panthers look for a win after winning eight of their last 10 games. The Edmonton Oilers look to snap a six-game losing streak.

The Florida Panthers are averaging 4.1 goals per game and are scoring on 19.2 percent of their power play opportunities. Anthony Duclair leads Florida with 16 goals, Jonathan Huberdeau has 38 assists and Aaron Ekblad has 119 shots on goal. Defensively, the Florida Panthers are allowing 2.9 goals per game and are killing 80 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Sergei Bobrovsky has given up 64 goals on 812 shots faced, and Spencer Knight has allowed 47 goals on 433 shots.

The Edmonton Oilers are averaging 3.3 goals per game and are scoring on 30.3 percent of their power play opportunities. Leon Draisaitl leads Edmonton with 26 goals, Connor McDavid has 34 assists and Darnell Nurse has 105 shots on goal. Defensively, the Edmonton Oilers are allowing 3.3 goals per game and are killing 79.2 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Mikko Koskinen has allowed 61 goals on 610 shots faced, and Stuart Skinner has allowed 30 goals on 324 shots.

The Panthers are 2-10 in their last 12 road games and 8-2 in their last 10 overall. The Oilers are 1-6 in their last 7 home games and 2-12 in their last 14 overall. The over is 9-1 in Panthers last 10 overall. The under is 8-3 in Oilers last 11 Thursday games. The Panthers are 6-16 in the last 22 meetings.

The Edmonton Oilers have too much talent to let these losses continue for much longer, but they’re also a team that hasn’t won a game since December 18 and has been getting waxed on the defensive end. That’s not what you want to hear when an elite Panthers’ offense is coming to town. The Florida Panthers should be licking their chops for this one, and they’ve been money making machines in the favorite role this season. I’ll lay the reasonable price.
