The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers meet Monday in NHL action at the Rogers Place. The Florida Panthers have lost 5 of their last 7 games. The Edmonton Oilers have split their last 8 games.

The Florida Panthers are averaging 3.4 goals per game and are scoring on 19.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Carter Verhaeghe leads Florida with 12 goals, Matthew Tkachuk has 18 assists and Aleksander Barkov has 74 shots on goal. Defensively, the Florida Panthers are allowing 3.3 goals per game and are killing 76.2 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Sergei Bobrovsky has given up 37 goals on 329 shots faced, and Spencer Knight has allowed 28 goals on 333 shots.

The Edmonton Oilers are averaging 3.3 goals per game and are scoring on 30.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Connor McDavid leads Edmonton with 16 goals, Leon Draisaitl has 20 assists and Zach Hyman has 74 shots on goal. Defensively, the Edmonton Oilers are allowing 3.6 goals per game and are killing 73.2 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Jack Campbell has allowed 45 goals on 361 shots faced, and Stuart Skinner has given up 27 goals on 343 shots.

The Panthers are 2-6 in their last 8 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The Oilers are 23-11 in their last 34 home games and 0-4 in their last 4 games following a win. The over is 6-0 in Panthers last 6 overall. The over is 4-1-1 in Oilers last 6 home games. The Panthers are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Edmonton and 7-18 in the last 25 meetings. The road team is 17-5 in the last 22 meetings. The underdog is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

I keep saying the Florida Panthers aren’t giving off the same vibes as last season, and the losses are starting to raise some red flags. I don’t like what I’m seeing from these Panthers through 20-plus games. The Edmonton Oilers have their issues as well, but they’re still deadly on the offensive side, and they usually take care of business at home. In a pick em spot, give me the Oilers.
