Edmonton vs Florida: prediction for the NHL game
The Oilers and the Panthers square off in the NHL on Monday night. What to expect from the teams? Our answer is in the prediction below.

Command Analysis

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton can't strengthen their standings and currently sit in 7th place in the Western Conference table. The Oilers can't win more than one game in a row, but at the same time, they avoid losing streaks. After defeats to New Jersey (2:5) and the Islanders (0:3), the team got a strong-willed victory over the Rangers (4:3). Evan Bouchard delivered a double - those were his first goals this season. The Oilers convert 29.3% of their power play opportunities, which is one of the best results in the league.

Florida Panthers

Florida have similar problems. In four of the last five games, the Panthers suffered defeats, but they managed to crush the leader of the conference, Boston, with a score of 5:2. In the following game, however, Florida yielded to St. Louis in overtime (4:5 ОТ). They had a three-goal advantage at the end of the second period, but allowed the opponents to level in the last 20 minutes and then conceded in overtime. Paul Maurice's men usually demonstrate high offensive performance, but at the same time, they allow about three goals per game.
Trends
СтавкаFlorida IT over 2.5 goals
In the last 5 games, the Panthers scored more than 2 goals.

Ставка1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In 5 previous games of Florida, more than one goal was scored in the first period.

Tip and bets
Both teams are inconsistent this season, but the Panthers earn points more regularly than their counterparts. The Oilers haven't defeated Florida in regulation at home in nine years, and we are not convinced they can come out on top tonight.
Our prediction - Florida to win
This should be a barn-burner - both sides play open hockey and score large numbers of goal in almost every game. The teams have similar problems on defense. We predict at least seven goals in the upcoming game.
Second bet - total over 6.5 goals
