Columbus at Florida

Florida is playing well behind a defense that is #8 in the NHL in goals allowed. The Florida Panthers just ended Detroit's four-game winning streak 4-3, on the road. Roberto Luongo made 38 saves to secure his eighth win of the season. Florida has a winning record at home and the Panthers are 10-1 against a team with a winning percentage below .400. They face a Carolina squad that is on a 1-5-1 slide and struggling everywhere at #24 in goals scored and #21 in goals allowed. The Blue Jackets are on a 7-19 run, and  2-11 against the Eastern Conference. And the home team is 5-1 in the last six meetings between them. Take Florida.
