The Pittsburgh Penguins look to stay hot on Thursday night against the Florida Panthers, heading out for a fourth consecutive win at the Amerant Bank Arena.
Sidney Crosby's squad has been on a roll since opening night and will visit the reigning Stanley Cup champions after putting together an impressive 5-2-0 record. The team has gone 3-1-0 on the road, and the players currently look full of confidence each time they hit the ice.
Having averaged 3.29 goals a night, Pittsburgh holds a strong offensive record, and the team also has a top-five defense, with only 2.29 goals allowed per game. Through seven games, the Penguins already have two shutouts.
The Panthers will head into Thursday's matchup with a record of 4-4-0. Paul Maurice's team started the year with a three-game winning streak, but injuries have made it difficult for Florida to maintain any momentum.
However, the hosts should have some positivity back in the team after ending a four-game losing streak with a 4-3 road win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Former Bruins captain Brad Marchand had an emotional night but showed quality with a two-assist effort. He now leads the Panthers in scoring with eight points (three goals, five assists) in as many games.

Our Florida Panthers vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction
Florida has lost two key forwards to injuries in Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk, while the defense is also significantly affected by the absence of Dmitry Kulikov, who was ruled out for five months last week due to upper-body surgery.
Maurice's team has given up at least three goals in five straight games and might also struggle to contain a hot Penguins offense, which features veteran stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who have both been in excellent form so far this season.
Our prediction for Florida Panthers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins: Penguins over 2.5 goals.
