The U.S. and Canada game on Saturday, which the Americans won 3-1, took in more action than Game 2 or 3 of last year’s final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers.
Catch all the NHL action live on Thursday night, featuring the Flyers versus the Penguins, the Oilers versus the Panthers, and many more great matchups.
Nate Schmidt and Carter Verhaeghe had third-period goals, Anton Lundell had a goal and two assists and the Florida Panthers topped the Edmonton Oilers 4-3. Uvis Balinskis also scored for Florida, which jumped Toronto for first in the Atlantic Division.
The last thing the struggling Oilers need right now is their top defenseman getting hurt, but Darnell Nurse is now on the shelf.
Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl was not happy whatsoever following last night's loss to the Florida Panthers.
That’s the same building where the Oilerts dropped Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, 2-1, back on Jun 24. In fact, the Oilers lost 3 SCF games there, scoring 0, 1 and 1 goal in those games. Only in Game 5, a 5-3 Edmonton win powered by a 4-point night from Connor McDavid, did the Oilers find their offensive legs in the Sunshine State.
