The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers are practically mirror images of each other.
They head into their meeting Thursday night in Edmonton coming off disappointing, one-sided road defeats.
Both are sitting at the NHL’s unique version of .500 but outside of a playoff spot -- a far cry from where they expected to be when the puck dropped on the 2018-19 campaign.
And both teams know they can’t wait much longer to find their expected form and string together a winning streak.
