Coyotes at Panthers 3/21/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Coyotes are a team that could potentially make the playoffs this season as they are sitting in the final Wild Card berth position. Now, the Coyotes are going to be facing a Panthers team that is not going to be as strong on the year as they should be, but still could end up being a team that could play the role of spoiler on the season.

The Coyotes offense is fairly weak as they leading scorer for the team only has 46 points and 32 assist. Those come from the stick of Clayton Keller on the year. Alex Galchenyuk is the leading goal scorer for the Panthers with a total of 17 goals on the season. The Florida Panthers are not completely eliminated from the playoff picture, but they are not far from being eliminated. So this could prove to be a problem for the Panthers. The Panthers are sitting 8 points out of the playoff spot and that could prove to be a problem for the team to make up the ground as the season is starting to wind down on them this year and the time the Panthers have left to make up the difference is decreasing tremendously.

Aleksander Barkov is the player who has been able to lead the Panthers in the scoring on the season with a total of 85 points on the year. Mike Hoffman has led the team in goal scoring at 33 goals, but Jonathan Huberdeau has been able to lead the Panthers with 56 assist.
