The Edmonton Oilers (11-10-0) have had an up-and-down start to the 2022-23 season, but they’ll look to turn the corner on a recent run of poor results with a victory Monday at home against the Florida Panthers (10-8-3).
Edmonton Oilers scored four unanswered third-period goals to beat the New York Rangers 4-3 on Saturday but have won just four of its last ten games. The Florida Panthers are 4-4-2 in their last ten games.
Jack Campbell is expected to start in goal for the Oilers in one of six games on the NHL schedule today. Campbell, acquired via free agency in the offseason to fix the Oilers’ goaltending woes, hasn’t been as advertised.
Heading into the Panthers vs. Oilers bet he’s 7-5 with an inflated 4.04 goals-against average (GAA) and .875 save percentage. Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to start for Florida. He has a 3.62 GAA and a .888 save percentage.

Last Game Record
If you’re making a Panthers vs. Oilers bet, it’s good to know the Oilers are coming off of a momentum-building victory against the Rangers. While they’ve been slumping as of late, their win on Saturday could propel the team to an impressive streak.
They certainly have the firepower to go on a lengthy win streak and were among the NHL picks to win the Stanley Cup before the season.
Florida, also an NHL odds favorite to win the Stanley Cup before the season, hasn’t met expectations this year either. They’re now fifth in the NHL standings for the Atlantic Division and are 4-4-2 in their last ten games. Florida lost 5-4 in overtime on Saturday to the St. Louis Blues. Spencer Knight allowed five goals on 37 shots.
Florida Panthers vs. Edmonton Oilers Analysis
Florida hasn’t fared as well in NHL matchups this season as many had expected. They have the worst against-the-spread (ATS) record in the league at 6-15 and have been let down by their special teams.
For the Florida Panthers standings, the team sits 24th and 22nd in power-play and penalty-kill percentage, respectively. They rank 11th in goals for at 3.43 per game but have allowed 3.33 goals against per game, which is 20th in NHL stats.
Offseason acquisition Matthew Tkachuk leads the Panthers in NHL player stats with 27 points heading into the Panthers vs. Oilers bet. The Panthers traded Jonathan Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar to the Calgary Flames in a somewhat surprising offseason deal. Florida seems to have gotten the better of the deal thus far, but it hasn’t made them a better team.
The usual Edmonton Oilers predictions have come to fruition this season. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are scoring in bunches, while the team lacks secondary scoring once again. McDavid leads NHL player stats with 36 points in 21 games, while Draisaitl is second with 32 points.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has also been impressive, with 22 points. However, only two other forwards – Zach Hyman and Evander Kane – have more than eight points, and Kane is expected to be out for several months with a wrist injury.
Other Oilers on the NHL injury report include forwards Kailer Yamamoto and Ryan McLeod, as well as defenseman Oscar Klefbom. Anthony Duclair is out long-term with an Achilles injury for the Panthers, while Alexander Barkov missed the team’s last game due to illness.
