Florida has managed to come into this game after pulling off what many fans would see as an upset. The Panthers were able to score 4 goals and allowed only 2 against a strong Penguins offense. That actually has been fairly par for the course for the Panthers who have pulled off some decent upsets on the year and have a 4-2-3 record on the season.

Even with Sergei Bobrovsky taking over in net for the Panthers the defense is still suspect giving up 3.63 goals a game. The Panthers have killed off 86.4% of the opponents power plays, but have scored on 20.7% of their own. The Florida team has managed to score at a clip of 3.13 goals a game.

Calgary is heading into another game at home after dropping their first game after the road trip to the Capitals. What is interesting is the game between the Flames and the Capitals ended up being more of an offensive struggle as 8 goals total were scored. The Flames fans were disappointed, though, as the Capitals were on top with the win 5-3. The loss dropped the Flames record to 5-5-1 on the year.

With all the offensive talent the Flames should be doing better than the season average of 2.50 goals a game. The Flames have converted on the power play at 15.6% on the season. Defensively the Flames are doing good killing off the penalties at 87.5% this year and have allowed only 2.70 goals a game.

Florida may not have the best defense in the league, but the Panthers offense has managed to make up the short falls. The Flames offense, has really had some problems finding the back of the net on the year and that has cost the Flames quite a few games when the Calgary squad had the better talent. Look for the Flames to have some problems in this game as the Panthers are able to show up big defensively and can shut down the Flames offense. Final Score Prediction, Florida Panthers win 4-2.
