Panthers vs Rangers predictions

New York Rangers center Vincent Trocheck is having the second-best season of his career through 70 games, boasting 24 goals and 42 assists for 66 points. He put up 64 points (22 goals, 42 assists) in 82 games during his first year in the Empire State.

Trocheck is currently centering the second line featuring superstar Artemi Panarin and youngster Alexis Lafreniere. He's fit in well in New York behind top-line center Mika Zibanejad.

The 30-year-old veteran has been consistently consistent for the Rangers. He has points in two straight games, four of his last five, and 14 of his last 17 contests. On the season, Trocheck has recorded a point in 43 of 70 games (61.43%) and has gone pointless for no more than three consecutive contests.

Trocheck’s additional inclusion on the power play is important given the fact that the Florida Panthers have allowed a power-play goal in four of their last five games, as well as seven of their last 10 contests. We’re getting pretty favorable odds here on DraftKings for Trocheck to record a point at -145, and he’s as high as -166 (FanDuel) and -155 (betPARX) to do so.

My best bet: Vincent Trochek to record a point (-145 at DraftKings)

Panthers vs Rangers same-game parlay

Vincent Trochek to record a point

Over 5.5

Panthers +1.5

+275 at bet365

Although this game’s total is set at a lower 5.5, there have been plenty of goals when these two teams meet up. The Over is 9-0-1 in the last 10 meetings, with the lone push being set at 7.0 last year.

Although Florida tends to play a more defensive style of hockey, that hasn’t been the case as of late, with 12 goals against in its last three games. The Rangers have also seen an uptick in goals, with five straight games cashing the Over.

The Panthers are on a three-game losing streak but they had three days off before Thursday’s shutout loss — a game in which they admittedly weren’t playing up to their potential. Florida should lock in and keep it close tonight on the road.

Panthers vs Rangers moneyline and Over/Under analysis

This game opened at a pick'em, with Florida and New York both listed at -110 on the moneyline. The odds largely remain there across the board as of Saturday morning.

The total has moved a bit, however. You can get Over 5.5 (-128) and Under 5.5 (+104) via FanDuel, or Over 6 (-105) and Under 6 (-115) at BetMGM.

We could see some line movement in this one based on the availability of Panthers center Aleksander Barkov. The Florida captain missed Thursday night’s game with an undisclosed injury and is questionable to suit up tonight.
