Florida Panthers vs Chicago Blackhawks Betting Analysis
After what’s been a disappointing season so far for last season’s Presidents’ Trophy winners, some green shoots of optimism are finally starting to bloom after the Panthers come off back-to-back victories across recent games, and have outscored opponents 11-5 over their last four games also.
Facing them here are a Chicago Blackhawks team that have dropped five of their last six games overall, giving up an average of 4.0 goals per game across those five losses as well.
This will be the teams’ second and final meeting of the season after Chicago surprisingly took game one in the United Center back in October as huge +205 underdogs.
However, this venue hasn’t been as kind to the Blackhawks, with Chicago losing all of their previous five visits to Sunrise.
Chicago In Rebuild Mode
Despite an impressive five-game winning run across February, losing most of your top players in the trade deadline is always going to prove problematic and it’s been no surprise to see that streak reverse for Chicago of late.
It’s difficult to find much room for optimism for this Blackhawks team either given they rank 32nd (last) in offensive xG this year and an almost equally poor 31st on defensive xGA also, so it’s safe to say Chicago look firmly settled into their protracted rebuilding phase.
Overreliance On Bobrovsky Could Prove Problematic
No other goalie in the league has taken on a heavier workload over the last few weeks than Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky who has started in 12 of the Panthers’ last 13 games overall.
That’s a major concern for Florida moving forward as they’ve faced the 24th-highest number of opponent high-danger shots this season, but with Spencer Knight still sidelined through injury, the Panthers remain short-handed in nets.
Florida Panthers vs Chicago Blackhawks Expert Prediction
We’re looking towards goals in this one, and fully expect this one to go over the total on Friday.
With Anthony Duclair back in the lineup for the Panthers, Florida looks a lot more dangerous going forward, and they face a Chicago team in this one that has shown themselves to be extremely vulnerable defensively this year.
That said, Chicago aren’t completely bereft of offensive talent going forward themselves, and with Florida’s far from stellar defense this season, we should see both teams combine in this one to push this over the total on Friday.
Take the Over 6.5 goals on Friday in the matchup between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Florida Panthers in Sunrise.
Prediction: Over 6.5 (-120)
