We’ve got 11 games on tonight’s NHL betting slate, including a rematch of last year’s Stanley Cup Final as the Florida Panthers head north to face the Edmonton Oilers.
Evan Bouchard has increased his shot volume lately, and my Oilers vs. Panthers predictions expect that trend to continue against a leaky Florida defense.

Panthers vs Oilers prediction
Panthers vs Oilers best bet: Evan Bouchard Over 2.5 shots (-130)
Evan Bouchard has been a shooting machine over his last five games.
The Edmonton Oilers defenseman leads the team with 18 shots on goal in that span, averaging 3.6 per game. Bouchard's total tonight is set at 2.5, a mark he’s surpassed in four of his last five games.
Meanwhile, the Florida Panthers' defense has been porous since the “tank” began, allowing an average of 29.1 shots per game. That should give Bouchard plenty of opportunities to hit the Over.
