Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers prediction

The Florida Panthers are due for a breakout performance after getting shutout in two straight games. The Panthers are too talented to be held down like this for long. With that said, I need more plus money to pull the trigger. This line is soft, and the Oilers have been the hottest team in the league this month. This cheap price with the Oilers at home is hard to turn down. The Oilers are hot, and they’re 9-5-1 at home. Give me the Oilers and the cheap price.
