Panthers hope defense fuels playoff push

The Panthers are having a rocky season with their offense struggling and scoring only 2.97 goals per game. Sam Bennett and Sam Reinhart have scored 53 goals and 58 assists to lead the top line but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only six active skaters have nine goals or more and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.

The offense has struggled but the defense has turned things around lately, allowing only five goals in the last three games. Niko Mikkola and Gustav Forsling have combined for 6.9 defensive point shares while Aaron Ekblad and Tobias Bjornfot have added depth to the unit. Additionally, goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky has been great lately, allowing only two goals in his last two starts.

Seattle’s offense has let them down

The Kraken are having a rocky season with their offense letting them down, scoring only 2.80 goals per game. Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers have combined for 39 goals and 45 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only eight skaters have 10 goals or more, and opponents can limit the offense as a result.

The offense has struggled but the defense has stepped up, allowing only 2.98 goals per game. Ryan Lindgren and Adam Larsson have combined for 6.8 defensive point shares while Jamie Oleksiak and Ryker Evans have combined for 5.1 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit.

Panthers vs Kraken Pick

Money Line Pick For Panthers vs Kraken

  • Panthers (-125) (4 units)

The Panthers have won three games in a row, and I see them taking over this game from the first period. The Panthers should create plenty of scoring chances with Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhart, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Panthers, who have allowed only five goals in their last three games, should limit the Kraken offense with Niko Mikkola, Gustav Forsling, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to make plenty of big saves. The Panthers should win the game with a strong performance on the road.

Take the Panthers money line as road Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Panthers vs Kraken

  • Under 6 (5 Units)

The Panthers have played great defense lately, and I see this game being a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Kraken, who allow only 2.98 goals per game, should limit the Panthers offense with Ryan Lindgren, Adam Larsson, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Joey Daccord to make plenty of big saves. The Panthers should eliminate a Kraken offense that averages only 2.80 goals per game with Sergei Bobrovsky, who has allowed only two goals in his last two games, blanking the shots on the net while Niko Mikkola, Gustav Forsling, and Aaron Ekblad create turnovers in front of him. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.

Take the Under on 6 goals.
