Panthers Are The Hottest Team In Hockey

Backup netminder Al Montoya will take the crease for the Panthers against the Oilers.

The Oilers have been surprisingly solid at home this season with a 12-8-1 record at the Rexall Place. However, if the Oilers want to put an end to the Panthers streak they will need better play from Taylor Hall. Edmonton’s star player has just two points in the last seven games.
