Key Storylines
Recent form
- Florida sits at 12–10–1 overall and 8–4–1 at home. Their offense has been productive recently, scoring 8 goals in two separate games over their last five outings. Calgary is 8–14–3 overall and 4–10–1 on the road. They are still trying to find consistency away from home.
- The Flames’ power play is struggling mightily this season. They are converting just 12.6% of the time with a man advantage and they need to be better in that facet of the game to beat opponents like this one.
Goaltending
- Calgary’s Devin Cooley has emerged as a surprising bright spot. He leads all NHL netminders this season in goals-against average at 1.86 and boasts a .930 save percentage. He’s surrendered more than two goals only once this campaign.
- Sergei Bobrovsky is the starting goalie for the Panthers. He hasn’t been incredible this season by any means, with a save percentage of .882. But he should give the Panthers a chance to win this contest.
Key skaters
- Florida winger Brad Marchand continues shouldering much of the offensive burden, entering with 14 goals and 12 assists. Fellow forward Sam Reinhart has also heated up, tallying 7 goals and 7 assists over his last 10 games.
- Forwards like Matthew Coronato and Blake Coleman have shown flashes for the Flames. Coronato leads the Flames with 8 goals on the season and he will try to make an impact in this game as well.

Final Thoughts
I am going to lay the puckline with the Panthers in this contest from Florida. The Panthers still have plenty to improve on as this season goes on. But they should be able to take care of business against a Flames team that has one of the worst road records in the NHL this year so far.
