The Florida Panthers and Dallas Stars meet Saturday in NHL action at the American Airlines Center.
The Florida Panthers look for a win after winning 11 of their last 17 games. The Florida Panthers are averaging 3.3 goals per game and are scoring on 22.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Carter Verhaeghe leads Florida with 17 goals, Jonathan Huberdeau has 28 assists and Aleksander Barkov has 127 shots on goal. Defensively, the Florida Panthers are allowing 2.7 goals per game and are killing 80.2 percent of their opponents power plays. Chris Driedger has given up 37 goals on 530 shots faced and Sergei Bobrovsky has given up 65 goals on 724 shots.
The Dallas Stars need a win after losing seven of their last 11 games. The Dallas Stars are averaging 2.7 goals per game and are scoring on 25.6 percent of their power play opportunities. Joe Pavelski leads Dallas with 15 goals, John Klingberg has 20 assists and Denis Gurianov has 93 shots on goal. Defensively, the Dallas Stars are allowing 2.5 goals per game and are killing 78.4 percent of their opponents power plays. Anton Khudobin has allowed 48 goals on 548 shots faced and Jake Oettinger has allowed 42 goals on 503 shots.
The Panthers are 2-5 in their last 7 road games and 6-2 in their last 8 overall. The Stars are 3-13 in their last 16 home games and 9-22 in their last 31 overall. The under is 5-2 in Panthers last 7 overall. The under is 3-0-2 in Stars last 5 overall. The Panthers are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Dallas and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The Florida Panthers have comfortably been the better team this year and they've won four of the five meetings against the Stars this season. The Panthers have also lost three or more games in a row just once this season. The Dallas Stars continue to be given the benefit of the doubt, and I get it, they made the finals last year, but at some point they have to break out of this funk before I can back them with confidence. The Stars are still on the struggle bus. Give me the Panthers and the cheap price.
