The Panthers came out of the break in a great mood. How else to explain the two wins in a row with a total score of 11:2. First, the team suddenly beat Tampa Bay (7:1) and then left no chance for San Jose 4:1. Did Coach Maurice's system work after all?
The Panthers' offense was excellent against the Lightning and the Sharks, but goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky should not be overlooked. The Russian has recovered from injury and saved 65 shots in two games, allowing only two goals. Bobrovsky has a 90.2% save percentage this season and a 3.09 puck-per-game average. But at this rate, he will improve those numbers very quickly.
Colorado Avalanche
The Avalanche have played two games, and if they haven't had a chance to return from their championship break yet. The team lost 1:2 in overtime to Pittsburgh and lost to Tampa Bay 0:5 on all counts. In other words, Colorado scored only two goals in two games. It's an odd result, though it's worth noting that overall on the season, the Avalanche are only 23rd in offensive efficiency with 2.96 pucks per game and a severe emphasis on a defensive play - 2.76 conceded goals and ninth place in the league.
Expert Betting Tips
After two straight losses, the Avalanche will undoubtedly do everything they can to get a win, especially since Colorado was very close to beating Pittsburgh before the Tampa Bay disaster, losing the lead at the very end of the game. It is likely that Georgiev, who missed five against the Lightning, will be replaced by Francouz, who has an excellent 2.53 goals against and 91.9 percent save percentage this season. As a result, Florida might have trouble on offense in the upcoming game. And in general, the Panthers are too unstable this season to win a third game in a row, and even more so when the opponent is the reigning Stanley Cup winner.
