Panthers at Stars 3/19/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Panthers have not really been the team that they should be on the year as they have only went 4 games over the five hundred mark. However, what else is disappointing for the Panthers is the fact the team is 5 points away from the Canadiens in the standings and a total of 8 points out of the playoff berth for the last wild card position.

On the season the Panthers have been able to score at a clip of 3.21 goals a game. The Panthers have allowed only 3.28 goals a game on the season. The Panthers on the power play have converted at a clip of 26.8%, but the penalty kill is sitting at 80.7% on the season so far. The Stars have lost 2 games straight and that is really pulling them out of the playoff picture. The Stars are trailing the Blues by a couple of points in the standings and that is going to be something the Stars need to overcome as one of the losses was to the Canucks who were able to score 3 goals against a Stars defense that had been playing great hockey on the season.

So far this season the Stars have been able to score at a clip of 2.51 goals a game on the year. The Stars defense is the second best defense in the league as they have allowed only 2.46 goals a game. The Stars have been able to convert on the power play at 18.9% on the year, but the Stars have killed off a total of 82.6% of the power plays of the opponents.
