Players to target: Aleksander Barkov, Nick Bjugstad, and Evgeni Dadonov
The Florida Panthers' top line will get a great matchup against the New York Islanders, who allow a league worst 3.76 goals per game. New York is among the 10 worst teams when it comes to most shots allowed per 60 minutes since February 15th (36.5 per 60).
This line should match up well against any of the Islanders' bottom-two lines, which have yielded nearly 40 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes and almost 16 High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes in the past two months. Barkov historically has averaged more than a point per game against New York, and he could continue that trend tonight.
Finally, Florida should have opportunities from both power-play units as the Islanders have a penalty kill that is just 73.5% at home.
