Winnipeg vs Florida Stats

Winnipeg Jets

The Winnipeg Jets are heading to Sunrise, Florida after a 4-1 loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning ended their seven-game win streak. Despite this loss, the Jets have an impressive season record and are currently sitting first in scoring, powerplay percentage, shooting percentage, and save percentage. Their only weak spot seems to be their penalty kill percentage, which is still ranked 15th overall. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, with an impressive record and stats this season, is expected to start in net for the Jets. With a power ranking of 1, the Jets are dominating in offense and defense this season, with a record of 15-2.

Florida Panthers Analysis

The Florida Panthers recently suffered a 6-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils, marking their second consecutive loss to the same team. The Panthers are wrapping up a six-game homestand with a record of 3-2-0. Despite their strong offense, ranking fifth overall in scoring and eighth in powerplay percentage, their goaltending has been a weak point with a save percentage of .884 and ranking 23rd in goals allowed. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to start in net for the Panthers, with a record of 8-3-1 this season. The Panthers have a power ranking of 5 and are currently ranked sixth in offense and fifteenth in defense, with an overall record of 11-5-1. Additionally, the Winnipeg Jets have struggled in their recent matchups against the Florida Panthers, going 0-2-1 in their last three meetings.

Winnipeg Jets Dominate Matchup Against Panthers with Strong Goaltending

Over the past 10 games, the Winnipeg Jets have posted a 7-3-0 record against the Panthers, showing their consistent success in this matchup. When looking at career statistics, Sergei Bobrovsky has a 5-10-2 record in 19 games versus the Jets, with a goals against average of 3.57 and a save percentage of .884. In comparison, Connor Hellebuyck boasts an 8-3-0 record in 11 games against the Panthers, with a goals against average of 2.88 and a save percentage of .918. The Panthers have struggled in the goaltending department, which could prove challenging when facing the Jets, the top offensive team in the NHL. While the Florida offense is strong, it may not be enough to overcome Hellebuyck's skill. Therefore, I recommend placing a bet on the Winnipeg Jets on the moneyline.
