Panthers at Red Wings projected goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky (29-11-2, 2.35 GAA, .916 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Alex Lyon (18-9-2, 2.74 GAA, .912 SV%, 2 SO)

Bobrovsky allowed just 2 goals on 30 shots in a 3-2 win at home against the Buffalo Sabres Tuesday. Bob has been standing on his head lately, going 6-1-0 with a 1.57 GAA and .946 SV% with 1 SO in 7 February starts. He allowed a total of just 11 goals on 203 shots, and he has allowed 2 or fewer goals in each of his past 9 starting assignments dating back to Jan. 24 before the All-Star break.

Lyon is confirmed to start against his former employer. He served as the backstop to Bobrovsky last season, going 9-4-0 with a 2.89 GAA and .914 SV% and 1 SO in 14 starts and 15 appearances for Florida in 2022-23.

Lyon coughed up 4 goals on 26 shots in the 5-3 loss to the Isles Thursday. He is went 5-3-0 in 7 February starts and 1 relief appearance, but he posted subpar marks with a 3.32 GAA and .883 SV%.

Panthers at Red Wings picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 4, Red Wings 2

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (-165) are a solid play right at the tipping point of a play on the ML.

The Panthers have won 9 of the past 10 meetings in this series, including each of the past 5 visits to the Motor City by a combined score of 19-7. While the Red Wings (+125) have been much more competitive this season, keep rolling with Florida until Detroit starts to turn the tables in this series and tick off wins on the regular.

Puck line/Against the spread

The PANTHERS -1.5 (+145) are worth a roll of the dice on the road. As mentioned, Florida has won 9 of the past 10 meetings, while going 6-2 on the puck line as a favorite across the previous 8 battles dating back to March 5, 2022.

The Red Wings +1.5 (-175) failed to cover on the puck line against the Islanders last time out as an underdog, and they’re just 2-3 on the puck line in the past 5 as a ‘dog.

Over/Under

The UNDER 6.5 (-115) is the lean, but be careful and go with a half-unit play at most.

We’ve seen the Under cash in each of the previous 2 meetings, while going 4-1 in the past 5 in the series. However, Detroit has hit the Over in 3 of the past 4 outings, including a perfect 3-0 in the past 3 on home ice.

The Panthers hit the Over against the Habs Thursday, but the Under is on a 4-1 run in the past 5 outings, while going a solid 9-3-1 across the previous 13 contests.

Florida Panthers at Detroit Red Wings odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Florida Panthers at Detroit Red Wings odds, with NHL betting picks and predictions

The Detroit Red Wings (4-12-3) host the Florida Panthers (11-2-2) for a second consecutive day at Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit. Puck drop is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET. Here we analyze the Panthers-Red Wings odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.

The Panthers, who have five wins in their past six games, embarrassed the Wings 7-2 Friday evening, scoring four first-period goals. It wasn’t much of a game after that, and the Wings went without a power-play goal for their 11th consecutive game — they haven’t done that since the 1950-51 season. Florida chased Wings goalie Thomas Greiss from net early, as he allowed four goals on just 13 shots.

“We were terrible,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said after the game. Will the rematch be any different today?

Over/Under: 5.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Panthers at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky (5-1-1, 3.33 GAA, 0.884 SV%) at Jonathan Bernier (3-2-0, 3.01 GAA, 0.896 SV%)

Bobrovsky has faced the Wings twice since Jan. 30, winning both matchups along the way and only allowing three goals total in the two contests. He has won three of his last four starts but was roughed up by the Tampa Bay Lightning his last time out — allowing six goals on 28 shots Feb. 13.

Bernier didn’t start yesterday but still saw 39:50 of playing time after an early goalie change. It didn’t matter. Bernier gave up three goals on 26 shots, good for a 0.885 SV%. Expected to between the pipes to start this game, it probably won’t be much of a different outcome.

Panthers at Red Wings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Panthers 4, Red Wings 2

Money line (ML)

The Panthers (-175), who had a season high in goals, outplayed the Red Wings across the board last night and are now 4-1 versus Detroit this season. We’re not a big fan of chalk betting, but if you want what appears to be an easy win with a small profit – this feels like a solid one- or two-unit wager. Nothing to brag about with a win here; Detroit is just that bad.

It is worth noting the Red Wings might be a bit amped up Saturday. For starters, they just got the snot kicked out of them. Beyond that, longtime team masseur Sergei Tchekmarev sadly passed away yesterday. He had been with the training staff since 1998. Will that be enough to give them extra motivation to grind out a victory? With a lack of overall talent, I just can’t bank on that at this point.

New to sports betting? A $175 wager on Florida to win outright returns a profit of $100.

Against the spread (ATS)

After last night’s debacle, it’s easy to jump on the Panthers (-1.5), who are 4-1 ATS in their last five, to win by at least two goals again in back-to-back days despite being on the road. The Wings are 5-2 ATS in their past 7 games, but the bottom fell out yesterday. At +150, the juice is definitely worth the squeeze for a one-unit wager here. Bet the Panthers -1.5 (+150) to win by at least two scores again Saturday.

Over/Under (O/U)

While the two combined for nine goals last night, don’t expect that to be repeated today with a standard O/U at 5.5. Both teams were near the top in limiting high-danger, 5-on-5 situations, and the Panthers can’t be expected to score that kind of volume on back-to-back nights. While the lean here is the Over (-115), I’d PASS here as the result will likely be razor thin margins. The Wings are 2-3 vs. the O/U in their last five while the Panthers are 5-0.

The two-game set begins with a 7:08 p.m. ET contest Friday evening. Below, we analyze the Panthers-Red Wings odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.

Panthers at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

Chris Driedger (5-1-1, .924 SV%, 2.39 GAA) vs. Thomas Greiss (1-9-3, .899 SV%, 2.90 GAA)

Driedger has logged six quality starts in seven efforts this winter. The 26-year-old netminder has faced Detroit twice this season (.931 SV%). He’s coming off wins against Tampa Bay and Carolina in his last two starts. Driedger is fronted by a Florida defense which ranks second in the NHL in preventing high-danger chances in 5-on-5 play.

Greiss, who is expected to start, is coming off a Monday loss to the Blackhawks in which he allowed three goals on 24 shots. The veteran has already faced Florida four times this season, carding a .922 SV% along the way.

Panthers at Red Wings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Florida 3, Detroit 1

Money line (ML)

While the favored Panthers (-175) are the predicted winner here, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze at the current odds. PASS: The tags here bracket the true odds and any value plays on either side. New to sports betting? You would have to wager $175 to win $100 on a Panthers win outright; there is better value to be had in the other lines.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Panthers are 4-2 in the front end of two-gamers. They’re 3-1 against the Red Wings this season. The most likable play here is the Under; while that runs counter to a multi-goal play on the favorites, the price here is attractive.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Panthers and Red Wings rank 1-2 in limiting high-danger looks in 5-on-5 play. Florida has scored 16 goals over its last four games, and its offense may be getting too much attention here. Some gravity is in order, and the price will do.

TAKE THE UNDER 5.5 (-105).

Panthers at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

Chris Driedger (1-0-1, 1.92 GAA, .934 SV%) at Thomas Greiss (0-4-2, 3.01 GAA, .897 SV%)

Driedger is expected to make the start with the quick turnaround despite the fact Sergei Bobrovsky looked sharp in Saturday’s 3-2 overtime win. Driedger picked up a victory last season against the Red Wings, allowing four goals on 39 shots in a 5-4 win on Dec. 28, 2019, in Sunrise.

Greiss will likely be pressed into action again despite the back-to-back situation. Backup Jonathan Bernier is dealing with an upper-body injury, and he was unavailable for Saturday’s game. Greiss did well, giving his team a chance in Saturday’s outing.

Panthers at Red Wings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Panthers 4, Red Wings 2

Money line (ML)

The PANTHERS (-165) will have a rested goaltender, and that will pay big dividends in the second end of the back-to-back situation. Florida has won seven in a row in this series, and 13 of their past 16 trips to the Motor City. The favorite has also cashed in seven straight in this series, so the Panthers are a good bet.

Against the spread (ATS)

The PANTHERS -1.5 (+155) are worth a small-unit bet in this road outing, as they look for better results than Saturday. Greiss is working for a second straight day and might not be quite as sharp as he was last time out.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 5.5 (-120) is also worth a small-unit wager, and you will need the Panthers to do most of the lifting. Driedger could be the No. 1 goalie on many NHL teams, and he has allowed just two goals in each of his outings.

The Over is 5-2-1 in the past eight games overall for the Panthers. For the Red Wings, all trends point to the Under, but tired legs after playing less than 24 hours ago will lead to more defensive lapses and more scoring chances for both sides.

Over/Under: 6 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Panthers at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky (2-0-0, 3.35 GAA, .879 SV%) at Thomas Greiss (0-4-1, 3.04 GAA, .899 SV%)

Bobrovsky has made a pair of starts after finally being deemed fit to make his season debut Jan. 19. He has allowed seven goals but received plenty of offensive support with 4.5 goals per game. Both of Bob’s starts have been one-goal wins, and each outing has required at least overtime to decide a winner.

Greiss is finding life tough in the Motor City as he actually has a better GAA and SV% than his counterpart, but it’s all about offensive support. Detroit has scored a total of four goals in his four starts, while he has yielded three or fewer goals during the starts. He has deserved a better fate.

Panthers at Red Wings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Panthers 4, Red Wings 2

Money line (ML)

The PANTHERS’ -175 is right about my limit for a standalone money line play. But Florida will be worth it as Detroit has struggled to score goals. The Wings won’t be able to penetrate the net of Bobrovsky, who is generally very good against the dregs of the league. He was 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA, .980 SV% and one shutout in two starts against the Red Wings last season. Florida has won six in a row in this series, too, and six of the past seven visits to the LCA.

Against the spread (ATS)

The PANTHERS -1.5 (+155) are worth a roll of the dice on the puck line as the Red Wings offense has been rather toothless. Florida has put up plenty of numbers to back its tendy.

Over/Under (O/U)

I expect the O/U 6 (-110) to be right on the number, so I’d avoid playing this total. If I had a lean, I’d look Over, which is 5-1-1 in Florida’s past seven, although the Under is 4-1 in Detroit’s past five. The best bet is the one you don’t make sometimes. AVOID.
