Interesting NHL action is set for Jan 31, as the Amerant Bank Arena hosts the clash between the Florida Panthers and the Winnipeg Jets.
The Panthers remain in a menacing position in the battle for a playoff spot, but the reigning Stanley Cup champions have struggled for consistency across their last ten games.
Meanwhile, the Jets have excelled in their recent outings, winning six of their last ten in the Central Division.
The increased pressure on Saturday is likely to be on the reigning Stanley Cup champions.
Florida have struggle to maintain winning form throughout the season, reflected by their 28-21-3 overall record. However, they come into this clash after winning six of their last ten.
Home advantage has been a key strength this term, with the Panthers going 14-11-3 in front of their own fans. Sam Reinhart is the main star, scoring a team-high 50 points.

The Winnipeg Jets should be respected this weekend after catching the eye in previous weeks.
They still have a losing overall record, and sit down in seventh in the Central Division. However, they have recorded wins in six of their last ten, meaning only the Utah Mammoth have recorded more wins over the same period.
But, the vast majority of their most expansive performances have come at the Canada Life Centre. On the road, the Jets have gone 9-14-2.
| TOTAL | Jets | Panthers | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 101 | 55 | 41 | - |
| GOALS | 613 | 329 | 284 |
The Jets have struggled on the road throughout the season, and that is a glaring concern ahead of this clash. Therefore, it could be worth chancing the Panthers bouncing back to form, and improving on their 48% win-rate in home games against Winnipeg.
