Command Analysis

Florida Panthers

Current form
Florida quickly lost the second position in the conference and the first place in the Atlantic Division table. The Panthers played a strong game at the beginning of spring, but gave up by the second half of March and lost four out of six meetings. Paul Maurice's men have 87 points in their piggy bank after 70 games and are fighting a fierce battle for the top spot with Toronto and Tampa. The cats had an unsuccessful exit and earned only four points out of 12 possible. Before returning home, they lost heavily in the US capital (3-6).
The hosts did not succeed in the guest tour in the attack. In six matches, Alexander Barkov's squad scored only 11 accurate shots at the opponent's goal, which did not allow it to achieve the desired results. On average, the Panthers score 3.22 goals per game per season, and Sam Reinhart remains the team's offensive leader. The Canadian scored 73 points (33+40) in the regular season.

Brad Marchand, Aaron Ekblad, Dmitry Kulikov and Matthew Tkachuk will not play against Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Current form
Pittsburgh is not ready to put up with the status of one of the main outsiders of the East and is doing everything to try to get into the top eight. The Penguins are only on the 14th line in the conference, having scored 68 points in 71 meetings. The Pence are six points behind Montreal, which has played two fewer games than the visitors. Now Sidney Crosby's team is the best in its current form. She unexpectedly won five of the previous six matches, showing excellent hockey in Pennsylvania. Before the trip to Florida, the Pitas beat Columbus (6-3).
The team mentored by Mike Sullivan is very good on offense in the second half of March. He scored 22 goals in the last five games alone, while Pittsburgh scored at least three times in four of the six games. The club captain remains the main driving force in the attack. Sidney Crosby scored 76 goals (25+51).

Trends
Bet period 2: total more than 1.5 pucks
In two of the last three matches between the teams, the second period was productive.
1.50Bet 2nd period: "Florida" will score
The Panthers have scored in the second period in four of the past five games.
1.30Tip and bets
Florida is returning home and intends to start a new winning streak. The hosts have everything for this, especially since in recent games, with the support of the home stands, Paul Maurice's wards were very good. Pittsburgh looked great at home, but the Penn State club rarely shows strong results on the road. This season, the rivals have managed to exchange quizzes on their sites, and we think this trend will continue. We believe in the success of Alexander Barkov's team and we offer a bet on its victory.
Our betting tip is a Florida victory in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Pittsburgh concedes 3.62 goals per game and is one of the most conceding teams in the league. Recently, the Penn State team has compensated for this with a strong offensive game. The Pitches are unlikely to be able to hold off the Panthers, who have lost a lot away and intend to start a new winning streak. We are waiting for at least four accurate shots from the hosts.
Betting Tip - Florida's individual total is more than 3.5 goals in 1.92
Bet on the total
The last game between the teams was not productive, although the game in Pennsylvania was very bright. Both teams have excellent attacking potential that needs to be realized. Florida will go ahead for the right points, and the guests have nothing to lose. We believe in spectacular hockey and we offer a bet on a total of more goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.67
