Both Florida Panthers and Pittsburgh Penguins enter their April 5 matchup severely depleted by injuries, fueling trader consensus for a near-coinflip with Penguins holding a slight home-ice edge at PPG Paints Arena. Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov, Sam Reinhart, Anton Lundell, Brad Marchand, and several defensemen like Niko Mikkola remain sidelined, prompting coach Paul Maurice to signal a season wrap-up and rest for core players amid a 35-35-3 record and eighth-place Atlantic standing. Penguins counter without Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, and Blake Lizotte, thinning their forward ranks despite a middling recent form including a 5-1 loss to Carolina. Head-to-head history and late-season irrelevance heighten upset potential in this low-stakes clash.
