The fun came to a crashing halt for the Edmonton Oilers. After winning eight games in a row, the Oilers now find themselves on a two-game losing streak after falling 5-1 to the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.
Saturday wasn’t a pretty one for Edmonton. Things were looking okay for the Oilers heading towards the first intermission; they were down only 1-0 thanks to a Carter Verhaeghe. However, two quick goals to close the opening frame gave the Panthers breathing room.
Zach Hyman scored to make it 3-1, but the Panthers continued to press, getting goals from Sam Bennett and Verhaeghe again.
