The Senators square off against the Panthers in the National Hockey League on Thursday. Which team will come away with a win? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Ottawa Senators
CanadaOttawa had a poor season, but in the last games they played really well. The Senators recorded victories in their last four games. They prevailed over Columbus (2:1 SO) away and defeated Montreal (6:4) and New Jersey (5:4 OT) at home.
In total, the Senators recorded 11 regulation-time victories this season. They concede over three goals per game, mostly in the last 20 minutes of regulation time.
Florida Panthers
USAFlorida have won the Eastern Conference and will probably face Washington in the first playoffs match. The Panthers are in excellent form and recently enjoyed a 13-game winning streak.
However, in the last two outings, Florida suffered defeats. Andrew Brunette's men lost to Tampa Bay (4:8) and to Boston (2:4). The Panthers should earn four points in their last two games of the regular season as they go against two clear outsiders, Ottawa and Montreal.
