Ottawa Senators vs Florida Panthers Prediction: What to expect from the Panthers now?

Prediction for the NHL Ottawa Senators vs Florida Panthers match, which will take place on March 28. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Ottawa already has no chance of making the playoffs this season. Ahead of the game, the team is 12th in the standings in the East and sixth in the Atlantic Division with 75 points. The Senators' recent results are hardly pleasing to their fans - seven losses in nine games. In the previous meeting, Ottawa lost to New Jersey with a score of 3:5.

Florida can still make it to the wild card but has little chance. The team is ninth in the Eastern Conference standings and fourth in the Atlantic Division standings with 79 points. Until recently, the Panthers had a great streak of seven games without a loss during regular time (six wins and one loss outside of three periods). It seems they would continue in that vein and climb into the top-8 in the East. But, in their previous three games, Florida lost without a single point. The day before, they lost 3:4 to the Rangers.

Bookmakers see Florida as the favorite in this game, and we agree with that. After three defeats, the Panthers will be incredibly angry; they only go to Ottawa for a victory. They still have a chance to make the playoffs but must pull themselves together and play at the end of the regular season without a loss. Their opponent, who has been losing to nearly everyone in a row lately, is coming up empty-handed. We'll take the win for the visitors.
