The Florida Panthers are starting out strong with nine points in their first six games. They're in Chicago today, squaring off against the Blackhawks. Chicago dropped their first two games but has come back to win three straight. The Panthers have controlled this series with 10 wins in the last 13 meetings including four straight. The Panthers were victorious in their last three trips to Chicago, and the Hawks are also in a huge play-against spot for this game: Any dog off at least two consecutive home wins, where both teams having a winning percentage of 60-70%, is 1-24 straight-up. That's a moneyline play on Florida, and well worth it at this price. Make the play on the Panthers.

Chicago at Florida
Well here we have arrived at a total that just seems crazy, but it is the state of the affairs in the new NHL. The O/U 7 will probably draw a few bettors to the UNDER, but I happen to be in the other camp. Florida has shown steady offense over their last 12 games as the Panthers have scored 3+ goals in all but two of them, and are averaging better than 4.0 scores over the period. Put that together with a Chicago team that is 9-2-1 to the OVER in its last 12. The Blackhawks have scored at least four goals in each of their last five, but have a losing record in the 5 games with inconsistent goaltending. There is also the fact that seven of the last 10 between these clubs has eclipsed the total, and I'm playing this one OVER.
