Florida Panthers vs. Ottawa Senators Predictions
The Florida Panthers, holding the third spot in the Eastern Conference, are looking to snap a two-game losing streak and regain their early-season form. The Panthers boast a potent offense led by Sam Reinhart, who tops the team with 13 goals, and Matthew Tkachuk, who has contributed a team-high 14 assists. However, their recent games have seen a dip in offensive production, which they’ll be keen to rectify against the Senators.
Ottawa, sitting at 15th in the Eastern Conference, is also aiming to rebound after their latest outing ended in defeat. The Senators have shown flashes of brilliance this season, particularly from their young stars like Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle, who lead the team in goals and points, respectively. The Senators’ performance at home has been a mix of highs and lows, and they’ll be looking to leverage their home-ice advantage to disrupt the Panthers’ efforts.
Defensively, both teams have had their struggles, with the Panthers recently being shut out and the Senators allowing five goals in their last game. The game could hinge on the goaltending battle, where Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky and Ottawa’s Anton Forsberg will be key figures. Special teams could also play a crucial role, with both squads looking to capitalize on power-play opportunities. As these two teams collide, keep an eye on the head-to-head matchups, particularly between the Tkachuk brothers, as they bring an extra layer of competitiveness to the ice.
Florida Panthers vs. Ottawa Senators Pick
The Ottawa Senators are poised to take advantage of their home ice against the Florida Panthers. Despite the Panthers’ higher position in the standings, the Senators have shown resilience at home, and the trends suggest they perform well as underdogs. With a 50% win rate at the Canadian Tire Centre and a notable 75% season over-under record, the Senators have the potential to upset the Panthers, who are on a two-game skid and have been inconsistent on the road. Ottawa’s recent home performance, combined with their ability to cover the spread and hit overs in recent games, gives them a slight edge in this matchup.
Historically, the home team has triumphed in the last three encounters between these two teams, and with the Senators hosting this game, they could continue this trend. The Senators’ last home victory against the Panthers was a significant one, and with key players like Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle in form, they have the firepower to challenge Florida’s defense. Considering the Panthers’ recent offensive struggles and the Senators’ motivation to climb the standings, betting on the Ottawa Senators’ moneyline is a calculated risk worth taking for this game.
