Pittsburgh continues to make life difficult for themselves as they move further away from the playoff zone. The Penguins are having a very tough time in the current regular season, where they lack consistency in their results. We shouldn't be surprised, as their roster is too old, and they have enough veterans for a certain period, after which they start to falter. At the turn of December and January, they managed to improve, winning six of their eight games, but then they ran out of energy and emotion. Mike Sullivan's wards have suffered four defeats in their last five matches, only beating Seattle 3:0, and are 12th in the Eastern Conference standings.

Florida is faring much better in the regular season, but this should hardly be seen as a sensation. The Panthers were finalists in the last Stanley Cup, and now they are proving their success was no fluke. If they struggled with their results early in the season due to a short off-season, they have picked up the pace and are closing in on the leaders. Then there was the mid-January slump, when they lost 4:1 to New Jersey, 5:4 to Anaheim, 2:3 to Detroit, and 4:6 to Minnesota. The South are in the top three in the Eastern Conference standings.

Florida has been far more successful than Pittsburgh in the regular season, finishing in the top three of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Penguins are outside the top eight. The Panthers also did well head-to-head, taking five points from a possible six in the last three meetings. The South has been on a roll of late, but all of their problems have been at home. While on the road, they have an excellent record, having won their last six away games, all in regulation time.

Florida has not only beaten everyone on the road recently, but they have also been outstanding in the attack. In their last five away games, the Panthers have scored 25 goals (an average of 5.00 per game), which is a very high result, and have scored at least four times in each of those five games. Furthermore, the South has put 19 pucks in the Penguins' net in the last five games (3.80 average per game), so expect the Penguins' defense to struggle.
