Florida’s offense faces a tighter defensive test

The Panthers average 3.25 goals and 29.5 shots per game, with Sam Reinhart leading the team with 11 goals. Their power play has produced 20 goals, giving Florida another way to challenge a Dallas team that allows just 2.61 goals and 23.3 shots per game.

Florida arrives off wins over Detroit and Columbus, scoring five against the Red Wings and four against the Blue Jackets. The Columbus result was especially encouraging away from home: Florida conceded only once after allowing four goals in each of its preceding losses at Boston and Washington. A home win over Chicago also featured five Florida goals, so the attack has repeatedly found a way through lately. The question is whether the defensive control shown against Columbus can travel into another road game, rather than the vulnerability seen in those earlier defeats.

Dallas seeks a steadier response

Dallas allows 2.61 goals and 23.3 shots per game, and its penalty kill stands at 88.5 percent. The Stars also have a 26.2 percent power play, though their 2.83 goals per game trail Florida’s average. Mikko Rantanen leads Dallas with nine goals and 21 points.

The Stars’ latest result was an 8-3 home loss to Winnipeg, a sharp departure from their earlier 3-1 home win over Columbus. Between those games, Dallas beat San Jose 4-3 at home, lost 2-1 at Columbus and won 6-5 at Washington. Those swings make it difficult to treat the Winnipeg game as the whole story, but they also show how much Dallas has had to work for its recent wins. Keeping Florida from turning chances into a high-scoring contest looks more important than simply matching its offense shift for shift.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Florida Panthers.

Florida’s higher scoring rate and recent wins over Detroit and Columbus give it the edge. Dallas has the stronger defensive averages, though, and could make this a difficult game for the Panthers’ attack.
