Florida Panthers
Over their last ten matches the Panthers have an 8-2-0 record. This includes the seven-match winning streak that was ended by the Devils on Tuesday. Across this run, the Panthers have averaged 3.9 goals, 7.1 assists, and 4.1 penalties per game. Florida has given up 2.8 goals per game.
Sam Reinhart has been the man in form. The 29-year-old center has 12 goals and 12 assists for the Panthers in their recent run. In the 4-1 defeat to the Devils, Reinhart scored Florida’s only goal.
Reinhart also registered an assist in the 4-3 shootout win over the Flyers in the last match of Florida’s winning streak.
New Jersey Devils
The New Jersey Devils are 6-3-1 over their last ten matches. The run has seen the Devils average 3.4 goals, 5.4 assists, and 4.1 penalties while giving up exactly two goals per game.
New Jersey recently went on a three-match winning run that saw them record victories over the Oilers (3-0) and Islanders (4-3 OT) on the road, with a 5-3 home-ice win over the Canadiens sandwiched between the two away wins.
The winning streak came to an abrupt end when the Sharks won 1-0 at the Prudential Center on Sunday.
The Devils bounced back at the first time of asking in Florida on Tuesday. Goals from Jack Hughes, Timo Meier, Paul Cotter, and Ondrej Palat helped New Jersey seal the win over the Panthers.
Florida Panthers vs. New Jersey Devils Betting Picks and Predictions
Both these teams are in excellent form. We know that the Panthers have just won seven on the spin, and logic would say that Tuesday’s loss may have been a one-off and with the home-ice advantage, they could easily bounce back with a win on Thursday.
To counter that argument slightly, the Panthers needed a shootout to see off the lowly Flyers on Saturday, and they then lost heavily to the Devils on Tuesday. So it could be argued that they have been a touch off-color in their last two.
If Florida is going to win, the chances are they will win well. Before being pushed close by the Flyers, Florida recorded wins of 6-3, 5-2, 6-4, 4-2, and 6-2. The Panthers also had 35 shots to New Jersey’s 24 on Tuesday.
Therefore we say it’s worth going for the better odds on the handicap line. Our pick is for the Panthers to win and cover the spread at +180.
