Florida Panthers vs New York Rangers
\nHead-to-Head: Panthers 0-1 Rangers
\nHow to Watch<\/a>:\u00a0US TV: NHL Network; MSG; Scripps Florida. Canada TV: SN1; TVA Sports.<\/p>\n

Time: 1\u00a0p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

We open up NHL predictions with a matchup between the Florida Panthers<\/a> and the New York Rangers<\/a>. Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a> is the expected starter for the Panthers but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Florida is 5-5 in its previous 10 games but has dropped three of its last four games. Injuries have ravaged the Panthers as Sam Reinhart<\/a> and Brad Marchand<\/a> are among those out for the two-time defending champions.<\/p>\n

Igor Shesterkin<\/a> is the confirmed starter for the Blueshirts, who are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games. However, the Rangers stopped a five-game losing streak on Friday after defeating the Chicago Blackhawks.<\/a> Both teams had lofty expectations, but the Rangers have already been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Mika Zibanejad<\/a> has been a bright spot with 32 goals and 37 assists for 69 points.<\/p>\n

The two teams were tabbed for plenty of success this season. However, the Panthers will salvage something out of this road trip with a win.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Panthers win 4-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome back to NHL Predictions.
