Florida at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh has performed admirably without Sidney Crosby (7-6) but we are going to fade them here vs. Florida. The Panthers are a very solid road team and their offense is clicking right now. While Pittsburgh's home defense is very good, we expect Florida to get enough for the win here. They are .500 this season in the underdog role including 14-9 as a road dog of +100 to +150. They are coming off a road loss and are 11-5 in that situation this season! That includes a near-perfect 6-1 mark off a road loss by 1 goal. This season Pittsburgh is 10-3 UNDER vs. good offensive teams and 20-12 coming off an UNDER. They are 13-5 UNDER the past two seasons off two straight UNDERs. Finally, the Penguins are 7-1 UNDER this season coming off a blowout win by 3+ goals. Florida is 26-13 UNDER the past three seasons coming off two straight hard-fought division games. We like Florida and the UNDER here.
