The Florida Panthers and Arizona Coyotes meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Mullett Arena. The Florida Panthers look for a win after splitting their last 8 games. The Arizona Coyotes need a win to rebound from a 2-5-1 start.

The Florida Panthers are averaging 3.22 goals per game and are scoring on 9.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Matthew Tkachuk leads Florida with 5 goals, Aleksander Barkov has 7 assists and Sam Bennett has 32 shots on goal. Defensively, the Florida Panthers are allowing 3.11 goals per game and are killing 74.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Sergei Bobrovsky has given up 18 goals on 174 shots faced, and Spencer Knight has allowed 8 goals on 79 shots.

The Arizona Coyotes are averaging 2.88 goals per game and are scoring on 30 percent of their power play opportunities. Shayne Gostisbehere leads Arizona with 4 goals, Clayton Keller has 6 assists and Nick Ritchie has 14 shots on goal. Defensively, the Arizona Coyotes are allowing 4.38 goals per game and are killing 81.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Karel Vejmelka has given up 22 goals on 190 shots faced, and Connor Ingram has allowed 11 goals on 101 shots.

The Panthers are 2-5 in their last 7 road games and 49-23 in their last 72 overall. The Coyotes are 14-37 in their last 51 home games and 32-75 in their last 107 overall. The under is 6-0 in Panthers last 6 Tuesday games. The over is 15-5-1 in Coyotes last 21 overall. The Panthers are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. The favorite is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings. The home team is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings.

The Florida Panthers still have another gear or two they need to reach, but there’s no doubt they’re the better team here, even with their lousy power play offense. The Arizona Coyotes are a complete mess defensively, and the offense has been held to 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 games. That’s just not going to get it done against a Panthers team that can still put up crooked numbers. Give me the Panthers and the PL for max betting value.
