The Panthers no longer have room for error after losing in Game 4 at home, 3-2. That means Florida is now trailing the Golden Knights in the series, three games to one. If there’s one good thing for the Panthers to draw confidence from, it’s the fact that they are no strangers to being in this situation and winning the series. Back in the first round, the Panthers lost three of their first four games against the Boston Bruins – the best team in the NHL in the regular season by a mile – before winning all of the next three games to advance to the conference semifinal round.
Another positive for the Panthers is that they are still winning the possession battle in the 2023 NHL Stanley Cup Final. They have an even-strength Coris For rate of 55.74%. They will have to raise the quality of their shots, but at the very least, they are getting plenty of chances. The Panthers head to Game 5 with a 4-1 record in their last five games on a Tuesday.
Betting on the Vegas Golden Knights (-155)
- Regular Season Record: 51-22-9
The Golden Knights are still a very young NHL franchise. It’s not even 10 years old yet, but here they are, just a win away from having a Stanley Cup parade. Their offense just kept on finding ways to make things happen on the ice, and such as the case in Game 4 in which Vegas scored the first three goals of the contest.
Then they relied on the defense of netminder Adin Hil, who turned away 29 of 31 shots on goal by the Panthers. Chandler Stephenson found the back of the net twice in Game 5 to raise his playoffs total to 10 goals. Anyone can produce for Vegas’ offense it seems, as the team has six players with at least six goals in these playoffs, including, of course, Jonathan Marchessault, who has 13, and William Karlsson with 11 (including one in Game 5). The Golden Knights are carrying a 21-6 in their last 27 outings after giving up two or fewer goals in the previous game.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Florida Panthers vs Vegas Golden Knights
The Panthers have looked a whole lot more competitive the last two games, and that trend should continue in Game 5. The Panthers will outshoot Vegas and take care of a slim lead, thanks to Sergei Bobrovsky’s excellent in front of the net.
Prediction:
The Panthers win, 3-2.
