Red Wings vs Panthers Prediction
My Best Bet
- Under 5.5 (-110 at FanDuel)
Analysis
The Florida Panthers have been playing strong defensive hockey over their recent stretch of games.
- Over their past 10 games, they’ve been allowing just 2.90 goals against per game.
- Sergei Bobrovsky has been a key player, starting іn seven оf those games with a .909 SV% and a 2.74 GAA despite a 2-4-1 record.
While defensively solid, the Panthers have struggled offensively:
- They’ve scored only 2.00 goals per game іn their last 10 outings.
- Their power play has converted at a low 16.7% rate.
- Aleksander Barkov, Matthew Tkachuk, and Carter Verhaeghe have each scored just one goal іn the same span.
- Only Sam Reinhart and Jesper Boqvist have consistently produced, each tallying five goals.
The Red Wings, on the other hand, have been scoring well but have faced weaker defensive opponents (Sharks, Kraken, Blackhawks, Senators). In their last three matchups with the Panthers, Detroit has managed only four goals combined.
Key strengths for Detroit include their power play:
- A 45.2% conversion rate over the last 10 games has fueled their offense.
- The Panthers must stay out оf the penalty box tо neutralize threats like Dylan Larkin, Patrick Kane, and Lucas Raymond.
Detroit is 8-8-2 on the road, averaging just 2.78 goals per game as the away team.
