Florida Panthers vs. New York Rangers
March 23, 2024
The Florida Panthers (45-20-4) look to snap their current losing skid when they face the New York Rangers (46-20-4) for the third time this season on Saturday, March 23 at 8:00 PM ET at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York. This matchup is a coin flip, as both teams are favored with a moneyline at -110.
Florida Panthers Betting Preview
The Panthers have lost their last three games and are desperately needing to end this before it gets out of hand. Their most recent defeat was a 3-0 shutout against the Nashville Predators on the road.
They offer an appealing road record at 24-9-2, which is a good metric or have. Sam Reinhart does an excellent job at finding scoring opportunities, as he leads the team with 79 points and 48 goals.
The Panthers get 3.22 goals and take 33.9 shots each matchup. They have a slightly better power play performance compared to the Rangers, at 26.2. In those situations, they have scored 60 times and allowed 42.
For defense, they are allowing 2.42 goals and 27.8 shot attempts from their opponents. Another area of interest is the penalty kill percentage, which is on par with the Rangers at 82.1.
New York Rangers Betting Preview
The Rangers are 3-2 in the last five games they have played. They are coming off of a 5-2 win against the Boston Bruins, which put them back on track after they were defeated in the game prior to that.
Just like the Panthers, the Rangers have a good record. They are currently 24-9-0 in the comfort of their home area. Artemi Panarin is key here, as he continues to lead with 97 points, 41 goals, and 56 assists.
The Rangers are accumulating 3.36 goals on 31.0 shots a game. Power plays are not far behind the Panthers, as they have scored 55 goals and have allowed 33 for a power play percentage at 25.5.
Their defense is also appealing, as they typically hold opposing teams to 2.69 goals and 29.4 shot attempts in the process. Their penalty kill percentage is at 83.4, which is a bit higher than what the Panthers put up.
