The NHL trade deadline has just passed, and we now know which teams have loaded up for a playoff run. The Detroit Red Wings (35-20-7, 18-10-3 home) host the Florida Panthers (30-29-3, 14-15-0 away) at 7:00 PM ET. The Red Wings have lost four straight games at Little Caesars Arena.

The Red Wings are in third place in the Atlantic Division, while the Panthers are dead last in that Division due to injuries and poor play. Detroit has the potential to bring playoff hockey back to Hockeytown, ending a nine-year drought. The Panthers are the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, but they’re in serious danger of missing the postseason this year.

The online sportsbooks have Detroit as a home favorite per the latest NHL odds. Look for this to be an awesome Eastern Conference duel, with talent all over the ice.

Panthers vs Red Wings Prediction

• Moritz Seider to record an assist (+110 at FanDuel)

Moritz Seider has been great for the Red Wings this season, and look for that to continue against the Panthers. He has tallied seven goals and 34 assists this year. Seider has dished out an assist in four of the last five contests.

The German d-man quarterbacks the Red Wings’ No.1 power-play unit, so it gives him a great chance to record an assist, especially if the Panthers get undisciplined and take a lot of penalties. 19 of his 34 points have come with the man-advantage, so look for Seider to be super aggressive when they’re on the power play.

• Sam Bennett to record a point (-143 at FanDuel)

Sam Bennett is a menace on the ice and makes other teams miserable. The Canadian Olympian has been on a tear recently, and #9 has produced six points (4G, 2A) in the last five games for the Panthers. Florida has been injury-riddled this year, so Bennett has taken the opportunity to be a real contributor for a team that is likely to miss the playoffs.

Bennett is one of the main contributors on their top power-play unit and is a force in front of the net. He isn’t afraid to take out a goaltender to score a goal for his squad. He has recorded three PP points in three of Florida’s last four contests. Bennett is responsible for four goals and eight assists in 12 career games against the Red Wings.
