Florida have scored over 120 goals this season, with players like Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe scoring to push the offense up. They have 35 goals between them and will have a huge task in the upcoming game as the team looks to get better returns in near future.

The defense needs to step up to give the team the required boost by keeping opposition attacks distant.

Both teams come into this one with a losing run and will be under pressure to get a favorable result. New York have played better away from home and will look to continue that trend. They have a better-organized defensive setup, which is a big plus for them in this tie.

Florida have not played consistently well and found themselves in a big problem. The fall in their scoring rate and change in the defensive shape pushes them into a difficult situation.
