Not long ago, the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers were the trendy picks to take that next step as an elite club. That’s clearly not happening this season.
Two teams on the fringes of competing for a playoff spot square off for the first time this season when the Oilers play host to the Panthers on Monday night.
Edmonton (23-27-4) returns to Rogers Place after losing all three games on its California road trip and before going on another three-game swing. The club erased a 3-0 deficit with four straight goals but lost 6-4 to the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night.
