The Panthers have won their last two games and are looking to land another. Their latest triumph was a 3-1 showing over the Pittsburgh Penguins, marking their fourth consecutive game with three goals or more scored.

Sam Reinhart has been doing a little bit of it all on offense to get the job done. He leads in points (33), goals (17, tied-second in league), and assists (16). His contribution on the ice will be big, as it is every game.

The Panthers have consistently scored 3.08 goals a game and take 34.0 shots. Surprisingly, they are not as aggressive on paper in power plays with 15 goals scored and 17 allowed. So far, they have a power play percentage at 18.1.

Defensively, they are slowing teams down to 2.54 goals and 27.8 shots a game. This level of confidence in stopping teams from scoring is huge. They also showcase a penalty kill percentage at 80.9.

The Blue Jackets were able to break their recent three-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. Prior to that, they had tough losses to the New York Islanders, Los Angeles Kings, and Boston Bruins, all of which have good offenses.

Zach Werenski only has one goal on the season, but leads the Blue Jackets in assists (19) and points (20). Boone Jenner leads them in scoring with a total of 13 goals, ranking 15^th in the league.

The Blue Jackets are putting up 2.93 goals and 29.8 shots per game. They have established 12 power play goals and have allowed 11 so far, with a percentage at 14.5.

They have allowed 3.45 goals and 34.1 shots a game. They also have a penalty kill percentage at 86.7, which could help here.

MyBookie is showing that the Florida Panthers are moderate favorites for success. For a better value play, consider the puck line, where the Blue Jackets are slightly favored to either win or lose by at least a goal.

The Panthers defeated the Blue Jackets in their first meeting last month 5-4 in overtime. This should be another close matchup, so look for the Blue Jackets to potentially win or lose by one goal again.
