Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida ranks third in the conference and is on the second line in the Atlantic Division table. Paul Maurice's men have scored 73 points in 59 games, while they are only one point behind Toronto and have played one more game. The owners have had some bad periods this season, but now the cats are in excellent shape. Before the break, they beat St. Louis (3:2) and Ottawa (5:1), but in the second half of February they started with a surprise loss to Seattle (1:2). Before returning home, Alexander Barkov's squad defeated Nashville in Tennessee (4:1). She controlled the course of the confrontation and never lost in the score during the match.
Florida has improved in terms of the implementation of the moments in this segment of the season. The Panthers have scored 16 goals in their last five games, while failing to score more than one goal three times in the last ten games. Sam Reinhart remains the Cats' main force ahead. The striker scores a lot and during the current regular season has made 62 effective actions (31+32).
Spencer Knight appeared on the ice again in the last match. The American helped his team to win, for him this victory was the third in a row. This season, the club's second goalkeeper has blocked 90.73% of shots. Sergey Bobrovsky gives a chance to prove himself to a replacement and is not too good in the current regular season. The Russian made 90.26% of saves and two shutouts in 38 starts.

Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form

The team from the province of Alberta has earned 72 points in 58 matches and is only two points away from Vegas, while the leader of the East has pulled away from the Oilers by 13 points. Before the break, Connor McDavid's squad showed a good level of play, but alternated between a series of victories and failures. After the rest, the Oilers have not yet been able to get in shape. They lost on the road in Philadelphia (3-6), Washington (3-7) and Tampa (1-4). In the game against the Lightning, the visitors scored first, but then conceded four unanswered goals.
The Canadians didn't always play well offensively in February, although they scored 16 times in the last six meetings. Overall, Edmonton is very good up front and is scoring 3.26 goals on average. Leon Draisatl has scored 87 points (43+44) this season and is once again the league's top marksman. The captain of the guests assists more and ranks fourth in the league's goalscoring list (22+51).
Chris Nobloch's men were not good defensively and conceded 26 goals in the last five matches. Stuart Skinner reflects only 89.79% of shots during the regular season and had only two dry fights. Calvin Picard often appears on the court, because the main goalkeeper of the guests can not get in shape. The Canadian made 89.56% of his saves, but never left the ice without conceding goals.

1.43Tip and bets
Florida was very good before the break and returned to the game with a loss to Seattle, which was very unexpected. Paul Maurice's players quickly rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans and earned two easy points in Tennessee, and now they are returning home. The Panthers have improved in terms of reliability and have been missing quite a bit lately. Edmonton lost four games in a row and performed terribly defensively. The hosts must beat the opponent they defeated in the final of the last draw. At the end of last year, cats in Canada succeeded. We offer a bet on winning the first one with a zero handicap.
Prediction - Florida wins with Asian handicap (0) in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton slowed down in terms of implementation and scored only seven accurate hits in three games after the break. As for the hosts, they have seriously worked on their actions at their gates and have conceded only six times in the last four matches. We think that the hosts will be able to tie the opponent hand and foot and will not miss much on the home ice.
We bet on Nashville's individual total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.90
Bet on the total total
The meeting between the rivals in Canada turned out to be bright and pleased the stands with 11 accurate shots during regular time. The same can hardly be expected now, because the Cats have improved in terms of reliability, and Edmonton has little ahead of it. We believe that the guests will try to play number two and not miss out. We don't expect more than five accurate shots from teams.
We take a total of less than six goals with a coefficient of 1.80
