Anaheim Struggles to Score Amidst Facing Strong Opponents

Anaheim has faced challenges in scoring goals in their recent games. The team has been shut out three times in their last seven games and only managed to score twice in two other games. This lack of offensive production is concerning, especially when facing a Florida team that has strong offensive capabilities and is expected to improve defensively. Despite having opportunities to score in their game against the Panthers, Anaheim was unable to capitalize. Given their recent struggles, it is unlikely that they will find much success in the upcoming game. Therefore, it is recommended to choose the Panthers as the favored team to win on the road and complete a season sweep.
