Rangers vs Panthers predictions
As the Rangers look to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, I think Artemi Panarin will be the key to unlocking the Panthers' defense. With 49 goals and 71 assists on the season, Panarin has proven himself to be a threat from anywhere on the ice. Despite being listed as day-to-day with an injury, I expect Panarin to play through the pain and notch at least a goal and an assist in Game 4. His speed and agility will be difficult for the Panthers to keep up with, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him make some magic happen on the power play as well.
On the other side, the Panthers will be relying heavily on their star players to even the series. Sam Reinhart, with his 57 goals on the season, will be looking to capitalize on any mistakes the Rangers' defense makes. I think he'll be able to find the back of the net at least once in Game 4, especially if the Panthers can get some quality chances on the power play. Meanwhile, Matthew Tkachuk will be a force to be reckoned with, using his speed and physicality to create turnovers and generate scoring chances. If he can stay out of the penalty box, Tkachuk could be in for a big game.
When it's all said and done, I think the Panthers will come out on top in Game 4. Despite being down 2-1 in the series, the Panthers have shown resilience and determination in the face of adversity. I think they'll be able to feed off the energy of their home crowd at Amerant Bank Arena and take advantage of the Rangers' weaknesses on defense. The current odds may favor the Panthers, but I think they'll prove worthy of that distinction with a hard-fought 4-2 win.
