Blackhawks Aren’t Good

The Blackhawks aren’t very good, and they are coming off another loss in the last game. The Blackhawks scored two goals while the Carolina Hurricanes scored three goals and that led to the defeat. Connor Bedard scored a goal but it wasn’t enough with the offense just not being good enough overall this season. Arvid Soderblom saved 24 of the 27 shots that he faced. Two games ago against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Blackhawks were able to secure a 4-1 victory. 

The Blackhawks are averaging 2.61 goals while their defense is giving up 3.39 goals per game. The offense is ranked 31st in the league while the defense is ranked 29th in the league. They are averaging only 24.57 shots per game which is 32nd in the league. Connor Bedard has scored 15 goals and added 30 assists so far this season. Ryan Donato has scored 15 goals and added 14 assists so far this season. 

Panthers Look for Second Straight Win

The Panthers faced off against the LA Kings, and they scored three goals, and that was enough for the victory. The Panthers scored a goal in the first period and two goals in the third period on the way to the win. Matthew Tkachuk scored a goal and added an assist. Sergei Bobrovsky has saved all 29 shots that he faced. Two games ago against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Panthers were defeated 4-1. 

The Panthers are averaging 3.19 goals while their defense is giving up 2.92 goals per game. The offense is ranked 9th in the league while the defense is ranked 15th in the league. They are averaging 31.29 shots per game which is 3rd in the league. This is a strong offensive team and they are going to need to get the offense out to a fast start. Sam Reinhart has scored 29 goals and added 25 assists so far this season. There are three different players that have put up at least 42 points. 

Why the Panthers Will Beat the Blackhawks

• The Blackhawks have lost eight of their last nine road games.
• The Panthers have won each of their last six day games following a home win.
• The Blackhawks have failed to cover the puck line in six of their last seven day games.
• The home team has covered the puck line in 10 of the last 13 games between the Blackhawks and Panthers.
• The Blackhawks have lost the third period in each of their last four games at Amerant Bank Arena.

Chicago Blackhawks vs Florida Panthers Prediction

The Blackhawks are averaging only 2.61 goals per game and that type of offensive output isn’t going to be good enough. Compare that to the Florida Panthers they are averaging 3.19 goals per game. The Panthers offense is going to get out to a fast start, the Blackhawks aren’t going to have any answer, and it’s going to be a blowout victory by Florida. I think they win this game by four or five goals but we will take them on the puck line. Back the Panthers -1.5.
