Most recently, Florida defeated Winnipeg on the road, practically not allowing the opponent to impose a fight. Now the teams will play a replay match, but already on the Panthers' court. The Canadians are coming to him after their seventh defeat in a row, and the last meeting with Tampa Bay again turned into serious defensive problems. The hosts have much better results, although more recently Paul Maurice's team itself had difficulties with implementation. Now Florida gets a good opportunity to consolidate its success and extend its winning streak. We understand in our betting tip how likely such a scenario is and which bid deserves attention
Command Analysis
Florida Panthers
The Tkachuk brothers became the main characters of the previous confrontation with Winnipeg, in which Florida achieved a landslide victory with a score of 5:1. Matthew scored four assists, and Brady scored a goal and two assists. Carter Verheghi scored a double, and Niko Mikkola also scored. Moreover, after the first period, the visitors led with a three-goal advantage, almost immediately forcing the opponent to take risks. Goalkeeper Akira Schmid made 24 shots and allowed only Adam Lauri to score, who scored the Jets' only goal in the minority.
The victory in Canada was the second in a row for the Panthers. Before that, the team beat Chicago (3-2), with Lars Eller scoring the decisive goal shortly before the siren. However, two major defeats from Pittsburgh (0-4) and Ottawa (1-5) followed even earlier, so it's too early to talk about complete stability. In addition, the hosts continue to perform without the injured Alexander Barkov and Brad Marchand. Nevertheless, the attack gradually returns to its former effectiveness. The Tkachuk brothers are particularly good at acting, and Sam Bennett and Sam Rinehart are also capable of regularly creating dangerous moments.
Winnipeg Jets
Head coach Scott Arniel had to seriously change the striker combinations before the previous meeting with Tampa Bay, as the team scored too rarely in recent matches. However, the beginning was unsuccessful again. After two periods, Winnipeg was trailing 1-5, and Stuart Skinner missed five goals after 21 shots and was replaced by Niko Dawes. In the final twenty minutes, the Canadians unexpectedly increased. Neil Pionk scored a double and Dylan Samberg closed the gap, while Kyle Connor scored 4 minutes before the siren.:5. But then Pontus Holmberg hit an empty net and gave Tampa Bay a 6-4 victory.
Despite scoring four goals, Winnipeg continues to be in deep crisis. The team suffered seven defeats in a row, and before the trip to Tampa, the attack was limited to a maximum of two goals in four meetings. The failures against Montreal (1:2) and Florida (1:5) turned out to be especially unpleasant. At the same time, Connor and Mark Scheifley are able to regularly participate in effective attacks, but the necessary support from the rest of the links is often not enough. The situation is also complicated by the absence of defender Josh Morrissey, who caused the defense to lose an important player. Now the Canadians will have their second match in two days, and against an opponent who has recently taken advantage of their problems.
The previous confrontation showed how serious the difference between the rivals can be when Florida successfully implements its moments. The hosts have a more diverse offense and are able to create pressure with several combinations. Winnipeg, on the other hand, is still having difficulty organizing the game, and recent changes in the links have not yet helped to correct the results. The defense, which has conceded 11 goals in the last two matches, looks especially alarming.
An additional problem for Canadians will be a busy calendar. After a tense meeting with Tampa Bay, the guests will have to face the Panthers again almost without rest. The hosts, on the contrary, got more time to prepare and return to their venue after a successful tour. At the same time, the recent defeat has certainly added confidence to the team. We expect that Florida will be able to seize the initiative and once again be more successful in realizing dangerous moments.
