Florida is the lean, not a call for a rout.

Sam Reinhart gives Florida a direct scoring route: three goals on nine shots in his last three games, and eight goals in 15 season games. Matthew Tkachuk added five assists over those three games and averaged 254 seconds of power-play ice time per game. Chicago’s counter is Connor Bedard, with two goals on 14 shots in his last three and 247 seconds of power-play time per game. Those records identify potential contributors, not guaranteed output tonight.
Florida averages 3.13 goals and 28.73 shots per game across 15 season games; its power play has 16 goals on 68 opportunities (23.5%). Its 3.2 goals per game over the last five broadly matches its season scoring rate, while 2.8 allowed is below the season mark of 2.93. A 30% power play over that recent five-game window adds another route to offense. But Florida has allowed 3.2 per game in its last five home games, so special-teams production alone may not protect its edge.
Chicago has averaged 2.2 goals for and 3.87 against across 15 season games, with five power-play goals on 47 opportunities (10.6%). Over its last five, goals against have eased to 3.6 per game, but scoring remains 2.2 and the record is 1-4. The away split is more troubling: Chicago is 0-5 in its last five road games, averaging 1.8 goals for and 4.6 against. The better recent overall goals-against figure does not establish that the road defensive problem is fixed.
Florida is 4-1 in the last five head-to-head games, averaging 3.4 goals for and 1.8 against, with a +1.6 goals-per-game margin. That history supports the Panthers, while Chicago’s 4.6 goals allowed per game in its last five away games offers a current reason the matchup could tilt further their way. Yet Florida has allowed 2.8 per game over its last five overall. The earlier head-to-head suppression does not guarantee another low-scoring meeting.
