Florida at New York

First place Florida is in the middle of the pack in goals allowed and poor (ranked No. 25) in penalty killing. But the offense is getting it done, scoring 3 goals three times in the last four games. They had to play last night and won at New Jersey and the OVER is 4-0-1 in the Panthers’ last five games when playing on no day’s rest. The OVER is also 7-3-1 in their last 11 road games and 16-7-3 OVER the total in the Panthers’ last 26 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150. They face a New York Islanders team that is also in a tough situational handicapping spot, playing its third game in four nights. The last place Islanders are not a good defensive team, No. 20 in goals allowed, and the OVER is 12-3-1 in their last 16 games in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation. In addition, the OVER is 20-8-1 in the Islanders last 29 home games against a team with a losing road record. Look for more goals than oddsmakers expect, so play OVER the total.
