Florida Panthers Analysis

On Thursday, they had struggled to produce any offense in their fourth loss in five games. The Panthers held a 38-24 shot advantage, but were outscored 3-1 and eventually lost 4-1. Sergei Bobrovsky made 20 saves in the loss. The Florida Panthers are 18-12-2 on the season and tied for second in the Atlantic Division, six points behind the Bruins for the top spot in the standings. With a strong defense and a 5th ranking for power play success, they have a power ranking of 9. However, their offense has been lacking as they have scored an average of 2.88 goals per game, ranking them #23 in the league. In their last game on Thursday, Florida failed to get anything going offensively and lost 4-1 despite having a 38-24 edge in shots on goal.

Vegas Primed to Take Advantage of Florida's Struggles and Climb Division Standings

Florida's recent performance has been concerning; they have only scored two goals in four losses over their past five contests, compared to their five goals in their lone win of the stretch. Vegas, meanwhile, is tied for the top spot in the Pacific Division, and recently demonstrated their resilience by rallying from two-goal deficit against Tampa Bay. They are the stronger team and should be well-positioned to take advantage of Florida's struggles to earn a win on the road.
