Pittsburgh Penguins have officially converted into the first team in the current NHL season to concede 100 goals, and even when that reflects the very bad performance that their defensive line is having, they’ll be fully motivated for their next game against Florida Panthers. That motivation is due to their most recent streak of 3 victories in a row, in which they defeated very important teams like Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins.
With that in mind, the Penguins are expected to show a better defensive performance during the early and late game, which are the phases they’ve been suffering the most in their last 3 games. However, it must be noted that the Penguins were able to win back-to-back home games for the first time since the beginning of November, a streak that allowed them to reduce the gap between them and the eighth spot.
Meanwhile, Florida Panthers have also shown a great offensive recovery, being able to score 5 or more goals during their last 3 games. However, they only are 1 point above Toronto Maple Leafs in the Atlantic Division, so this can be considered as a must-win game for the Panthers, which also remark the best offensive in their Division with 92 scored goals throughout the season.
