Next Friday night will bring a huge challenge for the Florida Panthers, as they will face the Carolina Hurricanes at 06:00 pm CST in a must-win game. However, the Panthers are at risk of struggling due to the heavy schedule they recently faced, not only because of their opponents’ performances, but also because they have travelled very long distances in just a week.
With their schedule in mind, the Carolina Hurricanes should try to take advantage of this situation to increase their dominance in the Eastern Conference, as they currently have a 5-point lead above the New York Islanders. Additionally, they currently have a five-game winning streak, but it must be noted that they have scored more than three goals in only two of those games, an offensive ineffectiveness that is mainly driven by the dependency on Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis to score.
Meanwhile, the Florida Panthers are just one point behind the playoff line, so the encounter will definitely be one of the most important games in the regular season for them. However, the outcome of the game will directly depend on their defensive effectiveness, it being worth noting that they have conceded more than three goals in only one of their last five games. With the match in mind, Seth Jones and Uvis Balinskis are expected to maintain their excellent blocking shot ratio
