Florida Panthers vs San Jose Sharks Prediction and Betting Tips (10.02.2023)

Command Analysis

Florida Panthers

USA

Florida are in 11th place in the East and can actually miss the playoffs this season. They are currently three points behind the top eight, which doesn't seem too bad, but the problem is, the Panthers can't mount a winning streak. However, after the All-Stars break, the team had two great games against powerful opponents. They prevailed over Boston (4:3 ОТ) and crushed Tampa (7:1). Usually, Florida concede three to four goals per game, but they managed to deliver an excellent defensive performance against the Lightning.

San Jose Sharks

USA

San Jose are 13th in the West, they remain one of the main outsiders in their conference. It is hardly possible that the Sharks will make it to the playoffs, nevertheless, they looked decent in the last outings. For instance, the team lost to Carolina in overtime (4:5 ОТ), defeated Pittsburgh (6:4), and eked out a win against Tampa (4:3 OT). San Jose usually score a lot, but they also have one of the worst defensive records in the league this season.

Florida have never had a strong defensive line, and usually the team concedes at least three goals per game, even at home. The Sharks, on the other hand, demonstrate high performance, so they should be able to score three goals.
