Ducks vs Panthers: Do the Ducks stand any chance in Florida?
The Florida Panthers will try to get back on the winning track when they host the Anaheim Ducks on Monday at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise.
Another disappointing season for the Ducks
The Anaheim Ducks are 14th in the Eastern Conference with a 14-27-1 record. They have lost 7 of the last 8 games and are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Ducks are near the bottom of the league in every statistical category. They are 29th in the NHL, scoring 2.50 goals per game and 27th allowing 3.43. Frank Vatrano leads the team with 31 points, 21 of which are goals.
Florida is coming off their first loss in 2024
The Florida Panthers are second in the Eastern Conference with a 27-13-2 record, three points behind the leading Boston Bruins. The Panthers are coming off a 4-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils that ended their nine-game winning streak, and only one of those wins came in overtime. Sam Reinhart leads the team with 54 points so far in the season which ranks him 10th in the league. The Panthers are 17th in the league, scoring 3.14 goals per game, and are ranked second defensively, allowing 2.50.
Betting Trends
Florida is 7-0 SU against the Ducks in the last 7 games and 5-0 SU in the last 5 played at home. The Panthers are 9-1 SU in the last 10 games overall and 6-0 SU in the last 6 against Western Conference teams. Anaheim is 1-7 SU in the last 8 games and 3-9 SU in the last 12 games on the road.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Panthers are one of the hottest teams in the league at the moment, despite losing the last game. They simply had a night off, but that does not change the fact that they are contenders to win the Stanley Cup this season. On the other hand, the Ducks are simply not on the level to compete against teams like Florida, and staying undefeated in such matchups has barely happened this season. Florida has won the last 7 games against Anaheim, and that run will not end tonight.
