Which Team Is Better, the Oilers or the Panthers?

Both teams reached the playoffs last season, and their 2025 Stanley Cup Final showdown elevated this to a compelling cross-conference rivalry. This season, however, both clubs are still searching for consistency.

The Oilers have gone 3-5-2 in their last 10 games. Their offense is generating 2.96 goals per game, and their power play ranks among the league’s best at 29.8%. Defensively, they’ve struggled, allowing 3.57 goals per game. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl continue to drive the attack. At the same time, Stuart Skinner has posted a 3.00 GAA with a .882 save percentage.

The Panthers are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. They score 2.90 goals per game and have a 20.8% power play. Their defense has been steadier, allowing 2.90 goals per game. Sergei Bobrovsky has been relatively good with a .893 save percentage and two shutouts, and Sam Reinhart continues to lead the offense with strong two-way play.

Overall, Florida has the edge defensively and has been the more consistent team recently. But Edmonton’s elite power play and star talent keep them competitive in any matchup. Fans can expect a tight, physical, and emotionally charged game in Sunrise tonight.
