Florida at Minnesota

Florida has won seven of 10 and it comes off a huge 6-5 decision at Edmonton on Monday in a rematch of the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals. Carter Verhaeghe scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period and six different skaters scored for the Panthers, who won despite missing star forward Aleksander Barkov for the second straight game. Sergei Bobrovsky did just enough to improve to 14-6-1 and win his fourth start in five games for Florida. The Panthers are 22-5 their past 27 games as road favorites of -110 to -150 and Minnesota is 0-5 as a home underdog of +110 to +150. The Wild have lost three of five, including 3-2 to Vegas on Sunday. Don't expect a letdown by the Panthers as they were shut out their previous two games and need to keep it going on offense. Take the Panthers as my ML Game of the Month.
