Florida Panthers Looking for Third Straight Victory

Florida rallied impressively on Thursday to win 5-4 after trailing 4-1 to Detroit. The Panthers opened the scoring but then gave up four straight goals to the Red Wings. The Panthers scored late in the second period to make the score 4-2, before scoring again earlier in the third to make it 4-3. With just 3:31 remaining, the Panthers tied the score. Less than a minute later, the Panthers took the lead on an Anton Lundell goal, his second of the game. 

Matthew Tkachuk leads Florida with 28 points and a team-high 24 assists. Sam Reinhart has scored a team-leading 11 goals, while Brady Tkachuk and Verhaeghe have 10 each. The Panthers average 3.25 goals per game and allow 3.00. Florida has a 23.8% power play and an 86.3% penalty kill. Jacob Markstrom has five wins, a 2.56 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.

Injuries: Aleksander Barkov, Brad Marchand and Jonah Gadjovich are on injured reserve.

St. Louis Blues Looking to Build Momentum

St. Louis needed eight rounds of a shootout Thursday before defeating Utah 1-0. Neither team could score during regulation or overtime, although the Blues had several good opportunities. Philip Broberg hit the crossbar in overtime, while Jimmy Snuggerud struck the post. Joel Hofer stopped all 29 shots he faced, earning his second shutout of the season. Connor McMichael eventually scored the shootout winner in the eighth round. The Blues had beaten Detroit 3-2 on Tuesday after losing three straight games.

Snuggerud leads St. Louis with 14 points, tied with Robert Thomas, and has scored a team-high 10 goals. Thomas leads the Blues with 11 assists. St. Louis averages 2.79 goals per game and allows 2.90. Its power play is converting 20.0% of its opportunities, while the penalty kill stands at 86.0%. Hofer has eight victories, a 2.15 goals-against average and a .926 save percentage. St. Louis has allowed only two regulation goals in its last two games.

Injuries: Torey Krug, Dillon Dube and Tyler Tucker are on injured reserve.

Key To The Game

Florida has the better offense, but St. Louis has been getting outstanding goaltending from Hofer. The Panthers need to create scoring chances around the net, while the Blues must find a way to generate more offense. Special teams could make the difference.

Florida Panthers vs St. Louis Blues Game Pick

• Florida Panthers

Florida has won each of its last two, which included a victory against Detroit in which the Panthers rallied from a three-goal deficit. Florida has scored nine goals across those two games and has had several players contributing with goals and assists. Sam Reinhart has 11 goals to lead the Panthers, but two others have 10 goals each, giving the Panthers balanced scoring. St. Louis enters this matchup having won two straight, but the Blues find the net less, averaging only 2.79 goals per game. In comparison, Florida has a 3.25 goals-for average. The Panthers have the better offense and have won six games on the road this season. I like Florida.

Florida Panthers vs St. Louis Blues Over/Under Pick

• Under

St. Louis has scored just four goals in its last three games, including Thursday's scoreless tie through overtime against Utah. Hofer stopped all 29 shots in that game and has a 2.15 goals-against average this season. Florida has scored nine goals in its last two games, but the Panthers will face a much tougher challenge against Hofer. The Blues have allowed an average of 2.90 goals per game, while Florida is giving up 3.00. St. Louis has been having trouble scoring, and the Blues will have to play well defensively to stay close. I'm taking the under Saturday.
