Prediction for the NHL Florida Panthers vs Pittsburgh Penguins match which will take place on March 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Florida Panthers

The Panthers could not show a good attack against Nashville in the last match without Alexander Barkov. Although they missed only two pucks, they lost 1:2. The goalkeeper of Florida, Sergey Bobrovsky, is also worth noting – the Russian saved the team 21 times. Paul Maurice's team lost an important meeting, although the fight for the wild card is just beginning. The Panthers are currently 4 points away from the top eight of the Eastern Conference.

Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins won four times on the eve of their trip to Sunrise. Mike Sullivan's team beat Tampa Bay twice - 7:3 and 5:4 (4:4). In addition, Pittsburgh coped with St. Louis (3:2 (2:2) in OT) and Nashville (3:1). According to the tradition of recent seasons, the Penguins start showing great hockey closer to the playoffs. And no one can again cope with Crosby in the fight for the wild card. 

Expert Betting Tips

For Florida, the upcoming match is almost the key to the playoffs. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Paul Maurice's team will be able to beat Pittsburgh, despite the increased motivation. The Penguins are well prepared. In particular, they scored 12 goals against Tampa Bay in two games. Besides, by beating the Panthers, Mike Sullivan's team will create an excellent handicap in front of the Panthers. And all the other teams don't participate in the fight for the wild card. Bookmakers consider Florida the favorite, overestimating the Penguins. And we will use it.
