Florida at Toronto

The Toronto Maple Leafs closed the first half of the season on a sour note, dropping their last three games. The Florida Panthers didn't find themselves closing out the first half any better as they dropped five of their last six, despite the fact that three of those were on home ice. So each of these squads open the second half struggling and desperate for a win. The Panthers are not exactly coming off elongated rest thriving, as they are 8-22 in their last 30 after three days off or more. They have also not done well as a dog of +110 to +150 where they are just 16-39 in their last 55. The home team here has taken the edge in this series at 4-1 in the last five, so I’m backing Toronto to get it done tonight.
