Panthers vs Hurricanes Key Stats
Florida have not had too many problems in offense, having scored over three goals per game this season. The duo of Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe have been solid with over 17 goals each, and are likely to play a strong role in the games to come too.
The defense has not been their strength and has failed to keep opposition attacks at bay. The goaltenders have failed to perform and the team overall needs changes in their approach along with defensive setup to get the best results.
Carolina on offense have been a different side in the last few games and now average more than three goals per game. Their offense has been boosted by the players like Andrei Svechnikov with 18 goals to his name. He along with Martin Necas will have a key role to play in the upcoming game.
Their defense has conceded 2.55 goals per game this season and comes into the game with one of the best in the league. With goaltenders proving effective in performing their work, they look great ahead for the upcoming challenge.
