Key Storylines

The Ducks suffered a 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in their most recent game. This is the fifth game in a row that the Ducks are playing on the road and they will try to overcome that to pull off an upset in this matchup.
- Goaltending: Sergei Bobrovsky leads the Panthers with a 5-3 record, 2.28 GAA, and a .903 SV%. The Ducks’ Lukas Dostal holds a 3.02 GAA and a .899 SV%, giving Florida a slight advantage in goal going into this game.
- Key Skaters: Brad Marchand leads the Panthers with 11 points (5 goals, 6 assists). Troy Terry leads the Ducks with nine points (3 goals, 6 assists). But Marchand is out for this game and is not expected to return for the Panthers until early November.

Final Thoughts
The Ducks have won two of their last three games and they are playing a banged-up Panthers team in this matchup. But the Panthers are 4-1-0 at home on the season and have been able to overcome their injury issues to win games on home ice so far this year. I’ll bank on that to continue here, as the Panthers should find a way to get back above the .500 mark for the season with a win over the Ducks.
