Detroit Red Wings and Florida Panthers head-to-head record

Based on the teams' previous five meetings, the Red Wings and the Panthers are expected to have a competitive game. The two teams have switched victories, with Florida winning the series 3-2 due to two shutouts, demonstrating their superior defensive play. However, Detroit demonstrated their offensive potency by winning the most previous game on the 17th of January 2025, with a commanding 5-2 victory. When the offense is locked in, the Panthers can shut down Detroit's attack, as evidenced by their previous victories, especially the 4-0 and 2-0 shutouts. This game may depend on offensive actions and which team capitalizes better, given Florida's strong penalty kill as well as goaltending and Detroit's strong power play.
