Penguins at Panthers 10/22/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Penguins are a team that is coming into the game here after being shut out by the Golden Knights in the last game. Granted, the Golden Knights are a great team on the year, but the way the Golden Knights dominated the Penguins was really shocking and definitely was not something that the Penguins expected to have happen because of the offensive power the team has on the year.

Jake Guentzel is the leading goal scorer for the Penguins with 5 goals. Sidney Crosby leads the team in assist at 8 and points overall with 12 points. Matt Murray is the goalie who plays most in the net for the Penguins with a 2.56 goals against average and has saved 91.4% of the shots he has faced this year.

With the Panthers the team is heading into this game after picking up a win over the Predators. Normally, that would be a good win, but the Predators are having some issues on the year and are not playing nearly at the level that they have been able to do in the past. However, the Panther are a team that has been fairly balanced almost all year on the season for the offense and the defense.

Mike Hoffman is the player who leads the Panthers in goals at 5 goals and 8 points overall. Aleksander Barkov is the player who leads the Panthers in assist with 6 on the year. Sergei Bobrovsky is the goalie who has been leading the Panthers all year with 2 wins, but has a 4.07 goals against average and has saved 87.2% of the shots he has faced.
