The Edmonton Oilers, riding an impressive five-game winning streak, are set to face off against the Florida Panthers at Rogers Place on Monday night in what promises to be an electrifying cross-conference matchup.
Edmonton's dynamic duo of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid has been instrumental in the team's recent success, with Draisaitl contributing 22 goals and 23 assists this season, while the Oilers have outscored opponents 25-11 during their current win streak.
The Panthers, despite their strong 18-11-2 record, enter the contest looking to bounce back from consecutive shutout losses, though they've maintained their position as one of the NHL's top offensive teams, averaging 3.42 goals per game.
Both teams have showcased their offensive prowess this season, with the Oilers leading the league in shots per game (32.2) and the Panthers boasting the NHL's best short-handed goal production with seven on the season.
