Time: 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Our second game of NHL predictions is an Atlantic Division battle between the Boston Bruins and the Florida Panthers. Jeremy Swayman is the likely starter for the Bruins, who are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. However, Boston is coming off a shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning after blowing a 5-1 lead. David Pastrnak leads in assists (48) and points (70).
Daniil Tarasov is the expected starter for the Panthers, who are 4-6 in their previous 10 games. This includes four consecutive losses, which has put the two-time defending champions in serious trouble of missing the posteason. Sam Reinhart leads the club in goals (27), assists (27), and points (54).
The Panthers have some serious work to do in order to get back into the mix. However, doubt Florida at your own risk.
Prediction: Panthers win 4-2.
