Oilers deal Panthers first regulation loss at home this season

SUNRISE, Fla. — When puck dropped Saturday at FLA Live Arena, the expectation was the Florida Panthers would need to contain the Edmonton Oilers’ one-two punch of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. The two, after all, entered Saturday as the NHL’s top point scorers — McDavid with 31 (15 goals, 16 assists), Draisaitl with 27 (nine goals, 18 assists).

It turned out that one of Edmonton’s defensemen would be the Oilers’ real scoring threat in Sunrise.

Tyson Barrie scored Edmonton’s first goals in a 4-2 win over the Panthers at FLA Live Arena to hand Florida (8-6-1) its first regulation loss on home ice this season. The Panthers were 4-0-1 in Sunrise this season entering Saturday.
