Pick
I’m backing the Panthers here. They’ve had the recent success over the Red Wings going back some time now, and Detroit, in their current form, fits the bill of a team that Florida’s had success against as they like to beat up on the bad and struggling squads and realistically, Florida’s just plain in better form in this game. I’ll side with Florida on the road here.
