Florida Panthers vs. Detroit Red Wings Prediction, Preview, and Odds

The Florida Panthers and Detroit Red Wings are both looking to improve their records. The Panthers have a 17-18-4 record and are near the bottom of the Atlantic Division. Detroit has a 16-13-7 record, but they have only won three of their last 10 games.

The Panthers are having a rough season despite their offense scoring 3.28 goals per game. Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe have scored 38 goals and 40 assists. Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett, and Sam Reinhart have combined for 29 goals. Brandon Montour and Gustav Forsling have added 11 goals from the point. Gustav and Joshua Mahura have good defensive point shares. Sergei Bobrovsky is having an awful season in the net with a 3-32 goals-against average on 677 shots.

Red Wings are having a promising season with their offense scoring 3.06 goals per game. Dylan Larkin, Dominik Kubalik, and David Perron have scored 37 goals and 51 assists. Lucas Raymond, Andrew Copp, Michael Rasmussen, Filip Hronek, Olli Maatta, have combined for 20 goals. The defense has been awful this year, allowing 3:33 goals a game with 13 goals in the last three games.

The Red Wings are playing at home against the Panthers. The Red Wing's offense should be able to score goals at will against a Panthers defense that is allowing 3.41 goals per game. Filip Hronek, Olli Maatta, and the rest of the Red wingers should create turnovers at the blue line and limit the Panther's offensive zone presence.

Both teams have been led by their offenses. The Panthers average 3.28 goals per game and the Red Wings 3:3. Matthew Tkachuk, Carter Verhaeghe, and others should find the back of the net at will against the Panthers.
