Panthers vs Red Wings Predictions and Picks
Florida is 16th in scoring, ninth in goals against, fourth on the power play, and tied for first on the penalty kill. Brad Marchand leads the team in points. The Panthers are coming off of their worst defensive game of the season, and they were playing from behind. This team likes to get early leads and from there, play physical, defensive hockey. Florida might just be adjusting to road play, and they will try to bounce back at five-on-five.
Detroit is ninth in scoring, tied for 19th in goals against, tied for sixth on the power play, and tied for 11th on the penalty kill. Patrick Kane leads the team in points. The Red Wings have won two games in a row and the defense is trending up. Detroit needs to create more scoring chances and have more offensive zone time. Then Talbot helped steal that last win against Toronto, but the game could have easily gone the other way. Doing the little things right on offense can lead to more consistent good play with the puck.
Best Bet: Panthers Money Line
Florida will look to get the offense going early and let the defense settle in. Detroit will try not to play in their end so much and get some consistent offensive zone time, but the Panthers pressure might be too much to overcome.
