Chicago Blackhawks at Florida Panthers Preview & Picks
Defending champions Florida are tipped to cover the Line as they open with a victory.
Chicago are expected to show improvement this season, but the Panthers have been outstanding at home in recent seasons and can avoid a letdown on opening night.
- Florida Panthers are 8-0 in the previous 8 meetings at home
- Florida Panthers are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall
- Chicago Blackhawks were 10-26-5 on the road last season
- 8 of the previous 10 meetings have produced over 5.5 goals
Head To Head
- Chicago Blackhawks lead the all-time series 30-19-8
- Florida Panthers won 5-1 when the two teams last met on February 1
Chicago Blackhawks Form
Chicago enter the new season looking to improve on a 2024/25 campaign that saw them go 25-46-11 to finish bottom of the Central Division.
The Blackhawks struggled badly for consistency all season long as they won back-to-back games on just four occasions.
There were some long losing skids too, with the longest being a seven-game sequence during the middle of March.
Chicago did at least end the regular season on a positive note though as they won four of their final six outings.
The last two of those games saw the Blackhawks head out on the road to beat Montreal via a shootout and Ottawa in overtime.
Florida Panthers Form
Florida come into the new campaign looking to complete a three-peat of Stanley Cup successes.
The Panthers lifted the trophy in 2024 as they won an epic series with Edmonton, 4-3, and the two teams then contested the NHL’s biggest series again last season.
Paul Maurice’s run to the finals saw them down Tampa Bay, Toronto and Carolina to set up a rematch with the Oilers.
And the outcome was the same as the previous year, as Florida took that series 4-2 to lift the trophy once again.
The Panthers will now look to become the first team to complete a three-peat since the New York Islanders achieved the feat in 1982 as part of an historic four-championship run.
Verdict
It has been a long time since the Blackhawks managed to beat Florida on the road.
That trend is unlikely to end on opening night, so we are backing the Panthers to mark ring and banner night with a victory.
