The Florida Panthers and Pittsburgh Penguins meet Saturday in NHL action at the PPG Paints Arena. Here’s a Penguins vs. Panthers Prediction. This article will include a Penguins vs. Panthers Pick.
The Florida Panthers beat the Senators and Bruins and play the Penguins next. The Panthers have lost 6 of their last 10 games.
The Florida Panthers are averaging 2.92 goals per game and are scoring on 19.7 percent of their power-play opportunities. Sam Reinhart leads Florida with 29 goals, Sam Bennett has 31 assists, and Carter Verhaeghe has 176 shots on goal. Defensively, the Florida Panthers are allowing 3.29 goals per game and are killing 82.1 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Sergei Bobrovsky has allowed 144 goals on 1,206 shots faced, while Daniil Tarasov has given up 81 goals on 786 shots.
The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Red Wings, lost to the Lightning and play the Panthers next. The Penguins have split their last 10 games.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are averaging 3.46 goals per game and are scoring 24 percent of their power play opportunities. Anthony Mantha leads Pittsburgh with 30 goals, Erik Karlsson has 47 assists, and Bryan Rust has 177 shots on goal. Defensively, the Pittsburgh Penguins are allowing 3.08 goals per game and are killing 81.7 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Arturs Silovs has allowed 102 goals on 926 shots faced, while Tristan Jarry has given up 36 goals on 396 shots.
The Panthers have put together a couple of wins but they have nothing to play for and it’s time they start shutting things down to lock up a top-10 pick. The Penguins are closing in on a playoff berth and games like this only get them closer. I just don’t see the Panthers continuing to win meaningless games and potentially play themselves out of a draft pick. Give me the Penguins on their home ice and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
