Florida Panthers at Detroit Red Wings

• 7:00 p.m. @ Little Caesars Arena

This Friday night The Detroit Red Wings are going to host The Florida Panthers for an action-packed game of Hockey. The Florida Panthers are coming off a hot win beating Carolina four to three. The Corsi for this Florida team is forty-seven percent when a team’s Corsi percentage is the number of shot attempts taken divided by number of shots taken by challenger’s and most teams want a higher number. The Panthers processed the puck well on offense and had a perfect plan devised, that worked in their recent win and should work well again against The Red Wings. Then their Fenwick percentage was forty seven percent, which is the shots on goal plus missed shots. On top of this, The Panthers served eight penalty minutes, sixteen faceoff wins, and were able to convert one power play goal. This Florida Panther’s team is at a record of ten wins, two losses, and two ties. As for scoring they are ranked 12^th in the National Hockey League out of thirty-one teams with a total of forty-seven goals.

This team is at twenty-two points for the season and has converted twelve times on the power play out of forty-one, and out of forty-two man-down situations, they have only let up ten powerplay goals. As far as a shot percentage they are sitting at ten percent and a save percentage of .903. The guy in net for The Panthers is Chris Driedger only playing twenty-two games in the NHL with twelve wins in eighteen starts.

In their last matchup, they went home losers after being shut out by The Blackhawks. Overall Corsi and Fenwick were fifty percent, and this shows us that this wasn’t The Red Wings’ best game. This season they have amassed thirty-five goals which rank them at twenty-ninth in the NHL, eleven points and let up fifty-six goals. This Detroit team is going to have to come out guns blazing if they want to compete against The Panther defense.

But their penalty kill is fierce shutting down over seventy percent of power plays. This Detroit team has also taken four hundred and ninety-one shots which has them ranked eight for shots taken.
