Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview

The Oilers are coming off of a 6-4 defeat to the Tampa Bay Lightning in this most recent matchup. This snapped their previous three game winning streak. In this loss, they allowed the Lightning to score four crucial goals in the third period alone.

They are seventh in the Pacific Division and need to continue obtaining quality wins while they can in order to move up in the division. However, this is easier said than done for this team.

They are putting up 2.94 goals a game and take 34.4 shots to get there. Their power play goal totals are at 13 and they have a power play percentage coming in at 22.8.

Their defense allows 3.81 goals each game on 29.1 shots. They have allowed a total of 17 goals in power play situations against them, but they have a penalty kill percentage at 72.6.

Florida Panthers Betting Preview

The Panthers were able to get back on track in their recent battle, which was a 2-1 showing against the Anaheim Ducks. Prior to that matchup, they were defeated by the Los Angeles Kings, which ended in a 2-1 score.

They rank second in the Atlantic Division, which is interesting to see after having a rough start to the season. Their success on the ice has been great on both sides of the puck, making them a dominant team in many scenarios.

They are getting 33.8 shots per game and averaging 3.06 goals as a result. They have acquired nine power play goals and have a power play percentage at 16.1.

They are allowing the opposing team to average 2.71 goals a game on 28.0 shots, which is a solid advantage compared to their offense. They also have allowed 14 goals total in power play moments and have a penalty kill percentage at 74.1.

Odds, Series Trends and Free Pick

MyBookie shows that this matchup is a toss up to potentially win. Both teams have competitive attributes that could help them win.

The Oilers are dynamic when they find opportunities to keep games close. However, they are not the most reliable team when it comes to scoring and defense. This is especially true when they lost to the San Jose Shakes earlier this month, one of the worst teams in the league by a mile.
