New Jersey at Florida

New Jersey has won seven in a row, stealing Game 1 in Florida 3-2 as a favorite. They're doing it with defense at the right time of the season, allowing more than two goals only once in this seven-game streak. The Devils are 25-6 in their last 31 games as a favorite of -110 to -150, 4-1 in their last five road games as well as 8-2 in their last 10 games as a road favorite of -110 to -150. "It's pressure on them now,” one player said of the Panthers. This Florida team doesn't know much about the postseason as this is their first playoffs series in 12 years! In Game 1, Florida watched New Jersey run roughshod in the opening period with Patrik Elias scoring on the team’s 13th shot on goal just 6:31 into the game. The Devils took 26 shots in the opening period alone, as New Jersey went into the first intermission up 3-0. The Panthers are 21-46 in their last 67 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, 7-17 in their last 24 vs. a team with a winning record and 17-49 in their last 66 games as a home underdog. Play the Devils in Game 2. In addition, look for a slow-paced defensive game with so much at stake. New Jersey is No. 8 in goals allowed, tops in penalty killing, while Florida is strong defensively too at No. 12 in goals allowed and an offense that ranks just No. 27 in goals scored. The UNDER is 33-14-8 in the Devils’ last 55 games as a road favorite, and the UNDER is 18-6-2 in the Panthers’ last 26 games as a home underdog. When these teams meet in Florida they are on a 5-1-5 run UNDER the total the last 11 meetings here. Play Game 2 the UNDER and take the Devils.
