Oilers Hold on, Extending Panthers’ Skid to Four

Taylor Hall ended a scoring drought with two goals, Cam Talbot stopped 30 shots, and the visiting Edmonton Oilers added to Florida’s slide by beating the Panthers, 4-2, on Monday night.

Teddy Purcell had a goal and two assists for Edmonton, which led, 3-0, after two periods and then withstood a Florida rally in the third. Jordan Eberle also scored for the Oilers.

Hall, who also had an assist, had scored just one goal in his previous 14 games.

Reilly Smith and Quinton Howden scored early in the third period for Florida, which has dropped four straight games since winning 12 in a row.
