Tactical analysis

Vancouver will try to impose its game at home, but its defense remains a weak point. The pressure on Tolopilo will be key to limiting Florida's offensive power. Rossi will be the key player to generate opportunities.

Florida will take advantage of its strengths in the power-play and fast break. The recent winning streak shows that the team can be unpredictable, although its defense usually concedes a lot of goals. The duel between forwards will be decisive.
