Florida Panthers vs Winnipeg Jets Analysis
The Winnipeg Jets travel to Florida on Friday night with their playoff chances slowly diminishing as they take on a Panthers team in absolutely red-hot form right now.
The Florida Panthers have won eight straight games on the bounce and 17 of their last 20 also as they rival the Colorado Avalanche in terms of ranking as the best team in hockey right now.
The Jets and Panthers have played once already this season over in the Canada Life Centre with the Panthers edging out the Jets in a tight game that was tied 3-3 before the Panthers pulled away late in a 5-3 road victory.
Friday Blues For The Jets
In what arguably is a must-win game for the Jets here if they’re going to make the postseason, both the opponent and the day itself present huge obstacles to Winnipeg in this one.
Not only are the Jets facing one of the hottest teams in all of the NHL right now but Friday as well has been a doomsday over recent games for this team as the Jets have won just one of their last nine Friday night games in all, but will no doubt look to break that streak tonight against Florida.
Panthers Offense Continues To Over-Perform
The last five years have seen top scoring teams average 3.61 goals per game season long, but Florida are absolutely blowing those numbers out of the water this year.
Florida has scored 4.14 goals per game this season, No. 1 in the league, and is averaging 37.63 shots per game also, again the highest in the league.
The data backs those figures up as well with the Panthers way out in front of the league in terms of expected goals data this season and balances that with an under-appreciated defense also to deservedly head into the post-season as one of the favorites for this year’s Stanley Cup.
Florida Panthers vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction
We’re taking the Florida Panthers in regulation on Friday to win outright against the Winnipeg Jets.
The form the Florida Panthers are in right now is hard to argue against and they’re just finding ways to win and with Sergei Bobrovsky slated in nets tonight for the Panthers also, a goalie with the 11th highest number of quality starts this season, they have a good chance of continuing that streak tonight against a team in Winnipeg who have gone just 4-11 over their last 15 games entering in as a road underdog.
Take the Florida Panthers in regulation tonight to continue their winning streak against an overmatched Winnipeg Jets side on Friday.
