The Dallas Stars host The Florida Panthers in a showcase between two teams, shattered by illness and injury. However, Florida appears to be more effected, at least numbers wise.
Florida Panthers
The Panthers head to Texas after routing the Flames by a 6-2 margin. However, they’re a lot more thin for this matchup and odds do reflect this current situation.
Offensively, Florida is absolutely impeccable, as they’re scoring a monstrous 3.8 goals on 36.8 shots per game. Together, they’re ranked 2nd, and 1st in the NHL, respectfully.
Unfortunately though, The Panthers are struggling on the powerplay by ranking 18th, and only capitalizing 18.5% of the time.
Defensively speaking, Florida’s ranked 16th for shots and goals against per tilt, by allowing 2.9 goals on 31.8 shots against per matchup. Moreover, their penalty killing squad boasts a 81.4 PK%, which in return ranks 14th across the league.
All in all, The Panthers are on a four game winning streak and looking like world beaters. However, it’ll be interesting to see if they’re able to keep it up while missing players like Sam Bennet, and Reinhart.
Dallas Stars
Dallas’ existence this season has been very inconsistent, and their last ten games do not tell a different story. For example, they began on a three game winning streak, followed by a five game losing streak, and now are on a two game winning streak heading into this matchup.
Offensively speaking, The Stars are ranked a paltry 22nd for goals, and 20th for shots per game; made possible by an average of 2.8 goals, on 29.9 shots per outing. Although, Dallas impressively carries the 5th best PP% in the NHL, by capitalizing on an astonishing 26.7% of powerplays.
Defensively, Dallas is scoring a median of 2.9 times, on 30.4 shots per game. Together these stats equate a ranking of 17th and 9th, respectfully.
Unlike their offensive powerplay unit, their penalty killers are giving up goals on 20.5% of their opponents powerplays, which sadly ranks 19th.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Florida is 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

Free Florida Panthers vs. Dallas Stars NHL Prediction
As both teams are missing key players, this matchup becomes that much tougher to predict. However, Florida’s been clutch against Dallas in the past, going 5-1 in their last 6 for example.
Furthermore, Dallas is missing captain Jamie Benn, and has only won twice in their last seven games. Fair to remind you, Florida is also missing both Sam’s(Bennett, and Reinhart), which may prove detrimental to a point.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Panthers Moneyline
With all of that being said, The Panthers are the more elite squad, even missing the players they are. Due to circumstance, this game may be closer then normal, but even then shouldn’t have an issue dispatching the captain less Stars.
