Will the Devils Tame the Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena?

As the New Jersey Devils prepare to face off against the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The upcoming clash, scheduled for January 13th, promises to be an exciting encounter in the Sunshine State.

Looking back at their past games, the Devils have shown a mix of resilience and areas needing improvement. In their most recent game against Tampa Bay Lightning, despite a valiant effort that took them into overtime, they fell short with a final score of 3-4. Their even-strength play was commendable with three goals on 28 shots and a shooting percentage of ten percent. However, they struggled on power plays with no goals from one opportunity and only managed to win fifty-one percent of faceoffs.

In contrast, during their home game against Vancouver Canucks where they were defeated with a score of 4-6, it was evident that defense became an issue as they allowed six goals in even strength situations. Despite this setback, goaltending remained strong with thirty-seven saves out of forty-three shots faced.

The Devils showed better form in another home game versus Chicago Blackhawks where they secured victory by scoring four times from thirty-two shots and successfully blocking eleven attempts by their opponents. Their powerplay opportunities didn't translate into goals despite having six chances; however, an impressive sixty-six percent faceoff win rate helped control the game's pace.

As we approach this matchup against Florida Panthers away from home turf at Amerant Bank Arena, it's crucial for New Jersey Devils to capitalize on even-strength scenarios while tightening up defensively during power plays and shorthanded situations.
