Jets vs Panthers Prediction
The Winnipeg Jets and Florida Panthers face off on Friday in an NHL showdown at FLA Live Arena. You're welcome to read our Jets vs Panthers Prediction.
Jets Look to Build on Last Win
The Jets sit with an 11-5-2 record overall and they sure picked up a big win in the last game. The Jets scored three goals against the Tampa Bay Lightning and they won in overtime. Josh Morrissey scored a goal and also added an assist. The Jets on the season are averaging 3.67 goals while their defense is giving up 3.06 goals per game. The offense is ranked 5th and they need to try and get the offense out to a fast start here.
Jets Betting Trends
- The Jets have won each of their last six night games.
- The home team has covered the puck line in five of the Jets' last six games.
- The Jets have won the second period in each of their last four night games following a road win.
- The 'Over 1.5 Goals Period 3' market has hit in each of the Jets' last eight games at Amerant Bank Arena.
Panthers Look to Bounce Back
The Panthers record is good, but they are coming off a disappointing loss. The Panthers scored only one goal against the Boston Bruins and that led to the two goal defeat. Anton Lundell scored the only goal for Florida. The Panthers are averaging 3.05 goals while their defense is giving up 2.74 goals per game. The defense is ranked 9th, but in the last game the offense wasn’t good enough. Sam Reinhart has scored 13 goals and added 12 assists so far this season.
Panthers Betting Trends
- The Panthers have won each of their last seven night games at Amerant Bank Arena against opponents on a winning streak.
- The Panthers have failed to cover the puck line in each of their last nine games as favorites against Central Division opponents.
- The 'Over 1.5 Goals Period 1' market has hit in each of the Panthers' last seven games as favorites.
- The Panthers have lost the first period in seven of their last eight night games against Central Division opponents.
Shane’s Free Pick
I expect both defenses are going to step up here. The Panthers scored only a goal in the last game and their offense is going to really hurt them here. The Jets are giving up only 3.06 goals per game and they are going to give up less than that here. The Jets offense will also struggle to get quality scoring chances and this game is going to stay under the total. Back the under to cash.
