Red Wings vs. Panthers Preview
The Florida Panthers are starting to find their form as they enter Monday amid a three-game winning streak. They have won by an average margin of 2.7 goals across that stretch, and they are likely to keep things going against a Detroit Red Wings team dealing with the off-ice drama surrounding Dylan Larkin.
Not only is the absence of an elite talent hanging over this team, but Detroit also falls short of Florida in nearly every major category. This season, the Panthers outrank the Red Wings in goals scored per game, power play percentage, goals allowed per game, and penalty kill percentage.
The goaltending edge also goes to Florida, given that John Gibson is slated to guard the cage for Detroit. Through 10 starts this season, Gibson is 4-5-1 with an .860 save percentage and a 3.37 goals-against average.
Meanwhile, the Panthers counter with Jacob Markstrom, who has a higher save percentage and a lower goals-against average than Gibson. When you add home ice to the equation, Florida is the team to back as it searches for its fourth straight victory.
