Oilers vs. Panthers Key Stats
Edmonton has done a great job this season on offense averaging over 3 goals per game. The partnership between Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl has been brilliant for the team with 58 goal contributions between them.
The defense has been poor with over 56 goals conceded in 114 games. The goaltenders have been decent with a combined save percentage of 0.895. Jack Campbell in particular has had a great run but has been poor lately and needs to work a lot going forward this season.
Florida has scored 45 goals in 14 games this season. Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe have done well this season with their 32 goal contributions in between.
Their defense has done okay with 42 goals conceded in 14 games. Goaltenders have been exposed to over 400 shots and this has negated all the good work done individually by them. They have to improve their defense if they want to end their season on a better note.
