Florida is 2-5 in their last 7 games overall and 1-4 in their last 5 division games while the under is 4-1-2 in their last 7 games following a win.

Pick

I’m backing the over here. The common trend in a lot of these recent games has been goals through and through, and I don’t look for much to be different here. The Panthers got it done with offense in game five to stay alive and they’re going to have to keep it going as I just think that the Panthers’ goaltending is starting to run out of gas. I think we got a high-scoring game here, so give me the over here.
