SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Defenceman Tyson Barrie scored twice and goalie Stuart Skinner made 40 saves as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Florida Panthers 4-2 on Saturday afternoon.
Barrie’s second of the game came four seconds into a power play at 6:53 of the third period to give Edmonton the lead for good.
Edmonton also got goals from Warren Foegele and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, while Sam Bennett scored twice for the Panthers.
The Oilers head home with a split of their four-game road trip after coming to South Florida with losses in four of their previous five games.
Florida had won its past two.
Edmonton spoiled the return of Aaron Ekblad and Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida lineup.
Ekblad had been on long-term injured reserve after being hurt on Oct. 17 in Boston; Tkachuk was suspended two games for a high-stick on Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick on Nov. 5.
