Florida has had plenty of time to rest and recover from their three playoff series in which they upset Boston, Toronto and Carolina and the Panthers hope the layoff hasn't cooled off goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who has had a sensational postseason winning 11 of 13 starts with a 2.21 goals-against average and .935 save percentage, including a shutout in Game 3 of the Carolina series. Ironically, it was backup Alex Lyon who got the Panthers into the playoffs with his strong play in the final weeks of the regular season, but Bobrovsky has saved his best for last after a 24-20-3 mark in the regular season. Florida has won 11 of its past 12 games, including an incredible 6-0 record in overtime games and the Panthers have won 16 of 21 on the road. Vegas actually has won more games on the road than at home where the Golden Knights have won 31 of 50. Take the Panthers.
