Florida Panthers vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction
The Panthers have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Oilers, but they’re in rough shape and have nothing to play for at this stage. The Panthers just lost to the Canucks of all teams. It’s over for Florida this season. The Oilers have been hit or miss this season, but they’re inching closer toward a playoff berth and a win over the Panthers would feel good given how the last two seasons have played out. It’s surprising this price is this reasonable given the Panthers’ current form. I’m riding with the Oilers on their home ice.
