Florida Panthers and Seattle Kraken Faceoff at Amerant Bank Arena

As the Florida Panthers prepare to host the Seattle Kraken at Amerant Bank Arena, fans can anticipate a thrilling NHL matchup. The game is set to take place in Sunrise, Florida, a venue where the Panthers have recently shown strong performances.

Analyzing past games data reveals that the Panthers are on a mixed trend. In their last three games at home, they have secured two wins and one loss. Their most recent victory against the Sharks showcased their defensive prowess with goaltending saving 96 percent of shots and allowing only one goal against them. This strong defense was complemented by an effective offense that managed to score three goals from 35 shots, translating into an 8 percent shooting accuracy.


However, in their preceding game against the Canucks, despite taking more shots (36), they were less efficient offensively with a shooting percentage of just over 8 percent and defensively less solid with goaltending saving only around 84 percent of shots faced. This inconsistency was evident as they lost that game by conceding five goals while scoring three themselves.


Against the Maple Leafs earlier in the season, Florida's performance was more balanced with goaltending back up to a high standard at around 97 percent saves rate and scoring three goals from fewer attempts (24), which indicates an impressive shooting accuracy of approximately 12 percent.


The upcoming match promises to be competitive as both teams will look to assert dominance on ice. The Panthers will aim to capitalize on their home advantage and continue building upon their strong defensive displays while seeking more consistency in converting shot opportunities into goals.


Fans can catch all the action live on October 28th at Amerant Bank Arena or tune into ESPN+ for internet broadcast or BSFL for local TV coverage starting from 22:00 UTC.
