Florida Panthers at Phoenix Coyotes
The Panthers have been outshot in four straight games, posting a shot differential of minus-43 along the way. It doesn’t much matter what else you do, it’s tough to consistently win games in the NHL if your team gets outshot by over 10 shots a game for any stretch of time. Sure, this team is 2-1-1 in their last four games (including a win over the Sharks, mind you), but there’s no reason to think it’s more than just a lucky streak. The Panthers have given up at least one power play goal against in six straight games and have given up seven total over that span (69.6-percent efficiency). I will give this team a bit of credit for their goal scoring though as the Panthers have scored at least two goals in seven straight games.
The Coyotes are in a battle for the final playoff spot in the West and have responded by winning six of nine games this month. They have been a bit erratic in those games, however, allowing six power play goals against in those contests (though scoring six power play goals for).
These two teams met in Florida last week and the result was a 3-1 Phoenix win. That should be a good baseline of what to expect at least tonight in this game. Since February 1st, the Panthers have allowed at least four goals against in five their seven road games, averaging four goals against in those games. The Coyotes should be able to fill the net tonight. I would start Mike Smith in net regardless of the type of DFS game and will be picking apart at some of their top skaters for 50/50s.
