Florida Panthers - Boston Bruins predictions and free betting tips [26/03/2024]

The NHL regular season match between competitors from the Eastern Conference is set to kick off. Night hockey enthusiasts can look forward to a clash between Florida and Boston.

Florida

Florida's hockey players have participated in 71 official NHL regular season games in the 2023-2024 season. With a tally of 71 games played and 97 points earned, Florida manages to secure the 2nd place in the Eastern Conference standings. Throughout the 2023-2024 season, Florida has been delivering brilliant performances and is now vying for leadership in the Eastern Conference. However, to secure this position, they need to keep winning and improving their stats, trying to surpass the Rangers who've settled into the first position. As of now, Florida is situated second in the standings, lagging just a point behind the competitors from New York.

Florida is ahead only due to some additional stats, having a lead over competitors, including Carolina and Boston. They are unlikely to drop lower than the fourth position considering their eight-point advantage over Toronto from the fifth position. It will be a tough ask for the Canadians to cover this eight-point gap, given Florida's strong performance and their minimal error rate. If we talk about game stats, Florida stands out owing to a stronger defence - they've conceded the fewest goals in the Eastern Conference. In the last five matches, Florida has been underperforming, constantly dropping points.

Boston

Boston's club has played 72 official matches in the 2023-2024 NHL regular season. With these 72 matches, Boston managed to score 97 points, securing the 4th place in the Eastern Conference standings. They are doing well in the 2023-2024 season, consistently staying at the top half of the table and vying for higher playoff ranks. Currently, Boston is placed 4th in the Eastern Conference, falling behind the competitors from Carolina, Florida, and the Rangers. The black-and-golds currently occupy the 4th position, but this can change at any moment for the better.

Boston's hockey players are just a point adrift of the leaders from New York and any victory could help them reclaim the top spot. Boston's closest contenders from Toronto have eight points less than them and two spare games, which shouldn't frighten the black-and-gold fans. Speaking about game stats, Boston excels with one of the strongest offences among the Eastern Conference leaders. In its last five games, Boston suffered just two defeats.

Head-to-Head Matches

Boston and Florida have locked horns in 65 matches. Boston holds 42 victories to its name whereas Florida came out stronger in 23 encounters.
