GameDay 22: Lines, Betting Odds for Panthers at Oilers

The Florida Panthers have their hands full when they visit the Edmonton Oilers tonight.

Florida will be without captain Sasha Barkov tonight when the take on an Edmonton team fresh off a three-game trip to the east coast.

Edmonton went 1-2 on that trip, ending it with a 4-3 comeback win against the Rangers. New York had led 3-0 before the Oilers rallied to win.

Florida has changed up its lines due to the absence of Barkov.

Paul Maurice did not announce a starting goalie for tonight’s game but we will go with Spencer Knight.

A couple of weeks ago, the two teams played a tight game in Sunrise with the Oilers getting two goals from Tyson Barrie in a 4-2 win.

This is the start of a five-game road trip for the Panthers with a visit to Calgary on Tuesday night.

Florida also has stops scheduled for Vancouver, Seattle and Winnipeg.

“This is going to be a tough trip for us so we have to make sure we’re mentally tough, ready to play,” Maurice said. “I think we are.”
