Carter Verhaeghe and Anton Lundell scored, and Sam Bennett, Evan Rodrigues and Mike Benning each had two assists for the Panthers (34-31-3), who had lost two in a row and six of nine (3-6-0).
Connor Ingram made 19 saves for the Oilers (34-27-9), who had points in three straight (2-0-1) and were looking to win three games in a row for just the second time this season. Edmonton remained one point behind the Anaheim Ducks for first place in the Pacific Division.
Cole Reinhardt put Florida ahead 1-0 at 11:12 of the first period, taking a lead pass from Benning and beating Edmonton defenseman Evan Bouchard in a footrace before deking in on a breakaway and tucking the puck past Ingram’s right pad.
A.J. Greer made it 2-0 with 58 seconds left in the period, tipping Benning’s wrist shot from the point past Ingram’s blocker.
Lundell’s power-play goal extended it to 3-0 at 14:21 of the second period. He scored on a snap shot from the slot off a rebound after the puck slid out from a crowd in front of the crease and between the legs of Oilers forward Adam Henrique.
Verhaeghe made it 4-0 at 15:23 of the third period, finishing from the slot past Ingram’s glove following an offensive-zone face-off for his 20th goal of the season.
