New York Islanders at Florida Panthers 10/16/21 - NHL Picks & Predictions

Florida comes to the game here after getting a win in their last game. The win was in overtime, but it was impressive in the fact that it came over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Now, the only downside is the game ended up being a high scoring affair and definitely was not the dominant performance the Panthers expected to have.

Sergei Bobrovsky was the net minder for the Panthers in the game. Bobrovsky looked like he returned to his older and good form by facing a total of 47 shots. In those shots Bobrovsky was able to turn away 43 of the shots as a save and played a total of 61:19 in the game.

New York is coming here after losing in their opening game of the season. The opening game for the Islanders was against the Hurricanes. The final score in the game ended up coming in with a final score of 6-3. 

The Islanders relied on Sorokin in the game to start the game and play for 57:58 in the game. Sorokin ended up having an off night facing a total of 40 shots in the game. Out of those 40 shots, though, 35 of them were saved and 5 of them ended up getting into the back of the net.

The game here is one which will be a back and forth battle. However, the Islanders have to figure out how to better protect the net in this game. The Panthers have proven already in the young season that their offense is still good. The Panthers defense is slightly suspect at times, but even then the Panthers have played well enough defensively to secure a win and that will continue in the game here. Final Score Prediction, Florida Panthers win 5-3.
