Florida Panthers Betting Preview

The Panthers just ended their six-game winning streak with a 3-2 loss against the Boston Bruins. During this win streak, their last five games have been at home, while the recent loss was on the road.

Florida got on the board early with a goal in the first period. While they added another one in the third period, they allowed the Bruins to score three goals in the third. Mackie Samoskevich and Dmitry Kulikov both scored here.

Their offense has been accumulating 3.25 goals and taking 32.0 shots to get there. Their defense is holding teams to 2.69 goals and 26.7 shots a game. This margin is slightly better than what the Maple Leafs offer and gives them an edge, at least on paper.

The Panthers have compiled 653 penalty minutes, which is quite a bit more than the Maple Leafs have encountered. They have scored 46 goals and have allowed 37 during power plays, resulting in a power play percentage at 23.5. They also have a penalty kill percentage at 80.8.

Toronto Maple Leafs Betting Preview

The Maple Leafs have gone 2-3 in their last five games, but just ended their three-game losing streak with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Utah Hockey Club.

Mitch Marner landed the goal in the shootout to win it for the Maple Leafs, as well as recording a key assist to help push along the offense earlier in the game. They had a three-goal lead midway through the second period, before allowing the Hockey Club to even the score.

Toronto is producing 3.20 goals and 28.4 shot attempts per game. On the defensive end, they are allowing their opponents to average 2.95 goals per game on 29.3 shots per game. This margin is appealing, but not as strong on the defensive end like the Panthers.

The Maple Leafs have acquired 493 penalty minutes and offer a penalty kill percentage at 79.1. For power plays, they have scored 44 and allowed 40 which shows a power play percentage at 24.6. Both of these metrics are in line with what the Panthers offer.
