On Monday, the Florida Panthers won 6-5 against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place. Carter Verhaeghe played a big part, scoring the go-ahead goal in the third period and getting an assist. This was the first meeting between the teams since last season’s Stanley Cup Final, where the Panthers won in seven games.
Connor McDavid, who had three assists on the night, was left feeling disappointed with the Oilers' defensive play. In the postgame press conference, McDavid said:
"Yeah, disappointing, obviously. [It] felt like, as you said, we had it in control. Got to find a way to win that one.
"...Playing a team that was shut out twice in a row, you knew they were gonna be hungry offensively. Obviously they were, but we gotta be better there," he added.
