The Edmonton Oilers are 5-10-1 this season and coming off a 6-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, which snapped their three-game win streak.
Edmonton has been led by Leon Draisaitl who has 21 points; Evan Bouchard has 16, while Zach Hyman and Evander Kane have 15 points. Connor McDavid, meanwhile, has struggled, as he has 13 points in 14 games, which is not like himself.

Oilers vs. Panthers: Odds & Prediction
The Edmonton Oilers are -105 while the Florida Panthers are -115, with the over/under set at seven and the under juiced to -135.
I'm surprised this game is a pick'em as the Oilers have struggled on the road while Florida has been dominant at home. Right now, Edmonton's goaltending and defense are still a big concern, as Tampa Bay was able to score six goals on Saturday, while McDavid isn't playing at his usual level.
Florida should be able to score on Skinner and limit the chances of this Oilers offense, which has been very inconsistent.
Prediction: Panthers 4, Oilers 2
