Florida Panthers Clash with Detroit Red Wings at Amerant Bank Arena

As the Florida Panthers prepare to host the Detroit Red Wings at the Amerant Bank Arena, fans can anticipate an exciting match-up. The Panthers have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent games, which could make for an unpredictable contest.

In their last game against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Panthers secured a win with a score of 4-2. They demonstrated strong offensive capabilities by taking 42 shots and converting four into goals, reflecting a shooting percentage of approximately 10 percent. Their power play was effective as well, scoring on two out of six opportunities.

However, this victory followed a loss to the St. Louis Blues where they managed only one goal from 38 shots – a meager shooting percentage of around 3 percent – and were dominated in terms of plus-minus rating with minus sixteen. Despite winning more faceoffs than their opponents in that game (68 percent), they couldn't capitalize on these chances.

The game prior to that saw another defeat for the Panthers when they faced off against Calgary Flames away from home. They scored once from 34 shots and had similar issues converting plays into points as evidenced by their low shooting percentage near three percent again.

What stands out is that while there are fluctuations in performance, particularly in offensive efficiency and faceoff wins, there's resilience within this team as seen by bouncing back after losses with stronger showings.

Looking ahead to their encounter with Detroit Red Wings at home where they've recently enjoyed success could be advantageous for them. The Amerant Bank Arena has been witness to some solid performances by the Panthers and will undoubtedly be looking forward to another such display.

Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ or BSFL for local coverage on January 18th at Amerant Bank Arena located in Sunrise, Florida. With both teams eager to assert dominance on ice, it promises to be an enthralling battle worth watching.
