Florida at Winnipeg

This is a long road trip for Florida - its third straight road contest. The Panthers are 0-2 on this trip, losing at Columbus (4-3) and at Minnesota (3-1), the former as a favorite. Florida has not been playing well for a while, on a 4-7 run and the Panthers are 17-40 against the Central Division. Florida's defense is the strength of the team, second in the NHL in goals allowed, 53-25-13 UNDER the total against the Central. The Winnipeg Jets are beginning a five-game homestand, home from a two-game trip that included a 6-3 win at Dallas as a +170 dog. Winnipeg has handled visiting Florida, winning the last five here as the Panthers have been outscored 30-8 in Winnipeg. The home team is 6-0 when these teams clash, so grab home ice in a defensive game. Play Winnipeg and the UNDER.
