This is a 10* FIRST ROUND GAME OF THE YEAR on the Florida Panthers.
Both teams come in hot, but we feel that home ice advantage will be pivotal in this series and look for the Panthers to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. John Tavares led New York with 33 goals, with seven others scoring at least ten on the year for New York. The Isles will be without the services of Jaroslav Halak for at least the entire first round, so getting the call between the pipes will Thomas Greiss, who was 9-8 with a 2.51 GAA on the road, but who is just 1-2 with a 3.29 GAA vs. Florida. Note the Greiss has never made a playoff start. After a three year hiatus, the Panthers are back in the postseason thanks in large part to a strong 25-16 showing in front of the home town crowd. Aleksander Barkov led the way in scoring with 28 goals on the year, while Reilly Smith and Vincent Trocheck had 25. Veteran Jaromir Jagr had 27 goals. The Panthers turn to Roberto Luongo in net, he was 21-11 with a 2.48 GAA in front of the home town crowd this season (note that Luongo owns a 2.62 GAA lifetime vs. the Isles). We're giving Luongo the big nod in net and that's going to be more than enough to tip the scales in favor of the home side today, play on FLORIDA.
