Florida Panthers Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 35-35-3
- Home Record: 19-15-3
- Road Record: 16-20-0
- Top Goal Scorer: Sam Reinhart (29)
A disappointing title defense for the Florida Panthers will come to an end this week, as the reigning Stanley Cup champions will become the first team since the Montreal Canadiens in 1969-70 to miss the playoffs after winning back-to-back editions of the title.
The Panthers have gone 3-6-1 across their last ten games, and confidence would have been gained following a win in their latest outing against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tomas Nosek scored twice in the recent road win against the struggling Leafs.

New York Rangers Stats & Team News

- Road Record: 19-17-2
- Top Goal Scorer: Mike Zibanejad (32)
The end of the regular season will also signal the end of the 2025-26 campaign for the New York Rangers, as the franchise have missed out on the post-season for the second season running.
Home struggles have been an Achilles heel for the Rangers throughout the campaign, winning just 13 of their games at Madison Square Garden. Few positives can be taken from their recent outings, having suffered defeats in each of their last two. Meanwhile, no team in the Metropolitan Division have scored fewer goals than the Rangers in 2025-26.

This season has been ultimately a disappointment for both the Rangers and Panthers. However, with home ice advantage, we could foresee the Panthers ending the season with back-to-back wins.
