In an exciting Thursday night matchup, the Florida Panthers edged out the Edmonton Oilers with a score of 4-3. Key performances from Anton Lundell, who scored a goal and provided two assists, and third-period goals from Nate Schmidt and Carter Verhaeghe propelled the Panthers to victory. Uvis Balinskis also found the back of the net for Florida, which now sits atop the Atlantic Division, overtaking Toronto. Leon Draisaitl scored his 44th goal for the Oilers, contributing to their rally, but Edmonton's struggles continued as they suffered their fifth straight loss, highlighting defensive weaknesses that allowed four goals in all five losses. Additionally, the absence of Matthew Tkachuk for Florida due to injury raises concerns for the Panthers' depth moving forward as they prepare for their next game against the Calgary Flames.
