Straightaway, this will be the second meeting between the Canucks and Panthers this season after Florida took their first meeting 5-1 back on December 1st.
In truth, both squads are third last in their respective division and both have seen their lackluster defenses exposed as their main weakness.
Vancouver Canucks
Offence
Despite the lacking play from JT Miller, the Canucks have seen their offence still produce at a high level. In fact, they’re averaging nearly 3.50 goals per game and rank inside the top ten in terms of goals for per game.
Captain Bo Horvat has led the way with his 29 goals in 41 games and should easily smash his previous career high of 31 from last season.
Defense
The problem for the club has been their paltry defence that has allowed an average of 4.17 goals against since December 1st, which puts them last in the league during that stretch.
The Canucks have lost three straight thanks to that poor defence, even though they were able to put home four goals of their own in each of those losses.
Goaltending
Head Coach Bruce Boudreau went with goaltender Colin Delia in their most recent contest, a 5-4 loss to Tampa Bay.
All things considered, with a back-to-back against the Panthers and then Carolina we could see Spencer Martin take the crease for this contest as he’s started the first leg of all but one back-to-back this season.
Over his last three appearances, Martin has a racked up three losses and a 5.17 GAA and a .833 save percentage.
Florida Panthers
Offence
By and large, even with the additions made during the offseason by the Panthers, the offence isn’t quite as explosive as it was last season where Florida was scoring an average of 4.11 goals per game.
Still, it’s not for a lack of trying as they’re leading the league this year with 35.8 shots per game and are putting home a respectable 3.23 goals for per outing.
Defense
In either case, the problem for this club is one similar to that of the Canucks. Their defense has had plenty of injuries through the season but even when it’s been intact, they have a ton of holes.
They’re allowing nearly 3.50 goals against per game and have allowed at least four goals against in each of their last three games.
Goaltending
With Spencer Knight on the shelf, we should see goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky on the case once again. So far, Bobrovsky has struggled since the turn of the calendar after allowing 14 goals against just four games.
During that span, Bobrovsky has a 3.57 GAA and a .885 save percentage.
