The Devils are struggling to keep their playoff hopes alive, sitting eight points out of both a wild card spot and third place in their division. Despite a recent win over the Panthers earlier in the season, their overall performance has been inconsistent, especially at home where they have a losing record.
On the other hand, the Panthers have been unstoppable, boasting an impressive road record and leading the league standings. Led by standout performances from players like Sam Reinhart and Matthew Tkachuk, the Panthers have been dominating possession and controlling games with their strong offensive play.
With such a wide disparity in form and performance between the two teams, the upcoming matchup appears to heavily favor the Panthers. Unless the Devils can quickly adapt to Green’s coaching strategies and mount a significant turnaround, they may be in for another tough outing against the league-leading Panthers.
