The Oilers’ struggles continued with a fourth straight loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday, marking their worst skid of the season. As they take on Florida on Thursday, they’ll look to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat on their tough Eastern Conference road trip.
Edmonton has yet to win on this trip, losing all three games by at least three goals and getting outscored 22-11. They enter Thursday’s matchup as underdogs and hold the NHL’s worst puck line record at 20-38, failing to cover in eight straight games.

Florida holds a strong 17-10-2 home record this season but will be without star forward Matthew Tkachuk for a third straight game due to a groin injury from the 4 Nations Face-Off. He isn’t expected to return until mid-March.
While his absence may impact their offense, the Panthers’ defense has been dominant, allowing the second-fewest goals per 60 minutes since Jan. 1.
MatchPlug Prediction For Oilers VS Panthers
The Panthers have one of the NHL’s strongest defenses and have been excellent at stopping their opponents’ shots. Ths Oilers might find this match a bit challenging because of their struggle with offense on the road.
With Tkachuk still out, Bennett is expected to step up again, and the Panthers are favored to win.
