The first game in the NHL calendar for next Sunday, March 30th corresponds to the clash between Florida Panthers and Montreal Canadiens, teams from the Atlantic Division that have had an opposite level throughout the season. With that in mind, it cannot be taken as a big surprise to have Florida as the absolute favorites to win this game, however they haven’t been able to win since their game against Toronto Maple Leafs (2-3).
In this regard, the head coach of Florida Panthers, Paul Maurice, is definitely having deep trouble finding consistency in a team which has too many superstars, but whose cohesion got totally lost since the transfer window acquisitions. Despite this, the Panthers still have a respectable number of games in the regular season to connect all the players with a general offensive and defensive idea that should be followed by everyone during the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Montreal Canadiens are still back to the awful performance that kept them away from the playoffs’ spots during the first half of the regular season, currently noting as one of the teams that has lost their last five games in a row. Most of that decline is explained by the terrible defensive performance they’ve had throughout the season, currently remarking as the second worst defensive line in the Atlantic Division with 244 conceded goals.
