Rangers Blow Game Five

The Rangers blew game five, and now they are in a must-win situation in game six. The Rangers got out to a 1-0 lead in the game, but the defense really let them down, and they ended up losing 3-2. Chris Kreider did score a goal and added an assist for the Rangers. Alexis Lafreniere also scored a goal. Igor Shesterkin saved 34 of the 36 shots that he faced, and the loss really wasn’t on him. In this game, the Rangers are going to need a better job of not letting as many shots get through. They can’t let Shesterkin face 36 shots again if they want a chance to secure the win. The Rangers’ offense was ranked 6th during the regular season, while the defense was ranked 7th. During the playoffs Vincent Trocheck has scored eight goals and added 11 assists. 

Why the Rangers Will Win

• The Rangers have won each of their last four games as underdogs following a home loss.
• The Panthers have lost each of their last three games as home favorites following a road win.
• The underdogs have covered the puck line in each of the last 11 games between the Rangers and Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena.
• The Panthers have failed to cover the puck line in eight of their last nine night games at Amerant Bank Arena following a road win.
• The Panthers have lost the third period in five of their last six night games at Amerant Bank Arena following a road win.

Panthers One Win Away

The Panthers are now only one win away from making the Stanley Cup Final and although there has been some tightly contested cases, they should have confidence heading into this game. It took two goals in the third period on Thursday and that was enough for the victory. Sam Bennett had a strong game, finishing with a goal and adding an assist. Sergei Bobrovsky saved 25 of the 27 shots that he faced. Each of the last two games, the Rangers have given up only two goals, and they are going to need the defense to be good again here. During the regular season, the Panthers’ offense was ranked 11th, while the defense was ranked 2nd. Much like the regular season, they have leaned on the defense. Matthew Tkachuk has scored five goals and added 14 assists during the postseason. 

Why the Panthers Will Win

• The Panthers have won four of their last five night games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Rangers have lost three of their last four night games.
• The Panthers have won the third period in three of their last four home games against opponents on a losing streak.

New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers Prediction

The Panthers defense has been strong the last couple of games, and that is going to be the case again here. In each of the last two games, the Panthers have given up only two goals. I don’t exactly expect the Panthers’ offense to be elite either, and that will be the difference here, as this game is going to be lower scoring. Look for only three or four total goals to be scored. Back the under.
