How to Watch: US TV: Scripps Vegas; ESPN+. Canada TV: Sportsnet; TVA Sports.

Time: 9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Our second and featured game of NHL predictions is a rematch of the last two Stanley Cup Finals. The Florida Panthers visit the Edmonton Oilers while trying to stop a two-game losing streak. Sergei Bobrovsky is the likely starter for the Panthers, who are 4-6 in the last 10 games. Matthew Tkachuk has four goals and four assists in the last 10 games for Florida.

Connor Ingram is the projected starter for the Oilers, who are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. Edmonton has picked up wins in the last two games to stay atop the Pacific Division. Other players will have to pick up the slack with Leon Draisaitl out for at least the rest of the regular season.

Florida seems destined to miss the postseason while Edmonton needs wins.

Prediction: Oilers win 4-3.
