Edmonton Oilers vs Florida Panthers Prediction
With the momentum the Oilers have right now, I am not sure how we fade them.

Goaltending again is going to be an issue for the Panthers, and they are going to give up at least four goals here. The Panthers aren’t going to have the offense to keep up, and the Oilers will secure the win. Back the Oilers.
