Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NHL match.
Florida Panthers
The Panthers haven’t won their last 3 games in regular time (2 draws and 1 defeat). On the other hand, they have taken some points in 10 out of the last 11 games (8 wins, 2 draws). The side is 3rd in the Eastern Conference, 1 point behind the second place. The Panthers have conceded the least number of goals in the Eastern Conference. An average total in the games of this team is 5.6, which is the 4th result from the end. Sam Reinhart has taken the position of Matthew Tkachuk and started to score more goals. He’s currently the scorer of his team and the 10th in the NHL. He’s also the best NHL scorer in the case of power play (16 goals). The Panthers’ defender Gustav Forsling is the 4th most valuable player in the league.
Detroit Red Wings
The team is unstable this season. They play in series. Currently, they have taken point in their 6 consecutive games, winning 5 of them. The main goaltender Ville Husso can’t play, but surprisingly, Alex Lyon has been playing quite well. However, the Red Wings have conceded at least two goals in regular time in the last 134 games. They have won the last 4 away games. The Red Wings are 7th in the Eastern Conference, scoring more than anyone else in the Conference, with an average total in the games of this team being 6,7, which is the 3rd best in the East. Despite this, the team doesn’t have a scorer, who could be among the best in the league. The best scorer of the team, Alex DeBrincat is 40th in the NHL.
Florida Panthers – Detroit Red Wings prediction
Both sides are in good form. The Panthers seem to be stronger, though. It’s a home game for them. Besides, one of the key defenders Walman and Patrick Kane, who’s started well in this team, are to miss the game. I believe that the home team will win. Probably, it’s going to be a tough game for them, though. The Panthers have won the last 10 head-to-head games (beyond the regular time on two occasions).
