The Edmonton Oilers were back at Amerant Bank Arena Thursday for the first time since they lost to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final back on June 24. There was nothing, really, on the line Thursday — but the game was almost as tight.

Nate Schmidt and Carter Verhaeghe had third-period goals, Anton Lundell had a goal and two assists and the Florida Panthers topped the Edmonton Oilers 4-3.

Only in Game 5, a 5-3 Edmonton win powered by a 4-point night from Connor McDavid, did the Oilers find their offensive legs in the Sunshine State.
