Knight receives no support in loss to Flames
Spencer Knight stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday’s 3-0 loss to the Flames. The Panthers’ strong offense has fizzled out during their current road trip — they have scored just two goals over their last three contests. Knight was in net for the team’s second straight shutout against. Over his last four games, he’s allowed 13 goals, going 2-1-1 in that span. The 23-year-old goalie is at a 5-5-1 record with a 2.85 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 12 appearances this season. Sergei Bobrovsky will likely get the nod versus the Oilers on Monday.
Hyman scores again in win over Vegas
Zach Hyman scored a goal on two shots in Saturday’s 6-3 win over the Golden Knights. Hyman has five goals over five games since he returned from an undisclosed injury. The Oilers have won all of those games — getting Hyman’s finishing touch on track after his absence appears to have done wonders for the team. He’s now at eight goals, five helpers, 69 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-5 rating over 25 appearances this season.

Panthers vs. Oilers Betting Prediction
Take Edmonton. The Panthers are 6-4 in their last 10 meetings with the Oilers but if we shrink that sample size down to the last four meetings, Edmonton is 3-1. The Oilers are also 8-2 in their last 10 games overall, which includes a five-game winning streak. Over the course of those 10 games, the Oilers would have racked up $337.00 for a $100.00 bettor.
While it’s tempting to take an outstanding Panthers team receiving plus odds, they’re dropped back-to-back games on their current road trip. The Oilers are too hot to fade.
