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.

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.
