The Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets clash for an inter conference NHL matchup. It is their first of two meetings this season, with the second one coming just days later on October 30th. They will get fully aquatinted with each other soon enough, but for now, we focus on this one. To give you some insight, we have provided our expert Panthers vs. Jets prediction.
This won’t be a cakewalk, but the Panthers have an excellent opportunity ahead. Statistically, Florida has outmatched Winnipeg in goals per game by 0.38 per game, power play by 0.2%, penalty kill by 3.9%, and shots by 1.32 shots per game. Winnipeg has the edge in net, but I don’t see goaltending playing a major factor as neither are all-world. Josh Morrissey and Vladislav Namestnikov remain out with injury, which is a massive blow to Winnipeg’s already struggling depth. While Florida isn’t running through the league, you need to remember this team was seen as the clearcut favorite before a few injuries slowed their roll. Winnipeg is 0-3-2 in their last five games, and it is hard to see how things play out. Here is our Panthers vs. Jets prediction.
