Derek Ryan scored his first NHL hat trick and Mikko Koskiken helped steal the game with 44 saves for the Edmonton Oilers in a 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers at FLA Live Arena.
After winning 23 of its first 26 games on home ice this season, the Panthers lost three straight games in Sunrise this week.
Like they did in the losses to Nashville and Columbus, the Cats had an early lead, but couldn’t hold on to it.
The Panthers were carrying the play in the first half of the opening period until an ill-advised pinch by Lucas Carlsson allowed a 2-on-1 break.
