The Florida Panthers are slumping badly right now while the Edmonton Oilers ate playing well on their current road trip, and we expect nothing to change in Sunrise here tonight.

The Panthers got off to a decent start this season, but they have now lost seven of their last eight games, and the lone win was a sloppy 6-5 triumph over Colorado in a shootout. If we toss out that game against the Avalanche, Florida has had trouble scoring in the seven losses during this swoon, lighting the lamp a total of just 14 times.

Because four of the losses during this slump have come at home, the Panthers are now under .500 at Bank Atlantic Center this season, at 4-6-4. Perhaps beginning a four-game road trip after the conclusion of this game is just what the Panthers need, as escaping the wrath of their fans my not be a bad thing.

Meanwhile, after beginning their current road trip with an ugly loss in Vancouver, the Oilers have posted back-to-back road upset wins at Detroit and at Dallas. They now head East to play two straight games in the state of Florida as they have the Tampa Bay Lightning up next, so Edmonton has a great chance of having a much needed winning road trip. They are also seeking revenge for a 2-0 home loss to Florida in the only meeting between these clubs last season.

Look for the Oilers to continue their fine road play here and keep the Panthers reeling.
