New York flopped in the playoffs last season losing in the first round to New Jersey despite winning the first two games. This postseason, they were up two games to one over Florida but have lost two in a row. They're facing elimination and have to play Game 6 on the road. Florida is showing that its run to the Finals last year was no fluke. They're fourth in the playoffs in scoring (3.31 goals per game) while the defense is third in goal given up (2.38 per game). During the regular season, they were No. 1 in goals allowed (2.42 per game) and second in save percentage (.918), while the offense was 11th in goals scored. Florida is 50-22 against teams that allow 29.5+ shots on goal per game, plus 26-9 after allowing two or fewer goals in two straight contests. Play Florida.
