The Panthers' offense has done well to score over 160 goals this season. Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe have been at the core of their offense with his overall contribution of 46 goals in between. Other players have joined the party in recent matches, which is a big positive coming into this game.
The defense has conceded over 3.3 goals per game but has shown improvement in the later stages. They will have to set up their whole defense equally better in the coming games to have a continued positive return in the future.
The Rangers have done well to score over 140 goals this season. The role of players like Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider has been immense for them. The team with enough options to explore looks settled coming into the game.
The defense has added more to the offensive unit by maintaining the goals conceded to below three per game. Goaltenders have made a big impact with improvements with each passing game, which has inspired the defense and looks well in sync for future challenges.
Panthers vs Rangers NHL Betting Prediction
The matchup is very interesting. Even though the Panthers have played well overall, they have struggled against teams with a winning record and their record in New York playing against the Rangers is poor.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are coming off a loss but are very much comfortable playing at home. They have a very balanced team structure which further makes things easier for them.
We should expect this to be a good game but Rangers have enough to edge past in this one.
Prediction: Rangers, ML(-135)
