The Panthers are coming into this game with a 41-23-3 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won 7 of their last 9 games and are currently leading the Atlantic Division. They have struggled more recently as they have lost 2 of their last 3 games and they are coming off of a 3-1 loss on the road against the Canadiens in their last game, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back in this game. They are going up against an Islanders team that is 29-28-8 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight games and their offense has been awful in these. They have scored just 1 goal in each of their last 3 games and they are coming off of a 2-1 loss at home against the Oilers in their last game. Their defense has not been that great either as they have allowed at least 4 goals in 2 of their last 3 games. They have not been playing that well at home recently either, losing 3 of their last 4 games there, and the Panthers have still won 3 of their last 5 games on the road. The Panthers are on a B2B here as they lost to the Canadiens on Saturday night, but that game was also right after a big win against the Leafs in Toronto so they had their let down game in Montreal and are not going to be satisfied in this game. This is a good spot for the Panthers to bounce back against a much weaker Islanders team. The Panthers will win this game.
