This game is going to be a tough defensive battle with lower scoring. The Panthers play better defense on the road, and with goalies like Shesterkin, standing on his head, playing great and deflecting a lot of shots on goal, all contributes to a tighter lower scoring total. The Panthers will tighten up their defense on the road as they tend to give up less goals in this spot. After having lost 2 of their last 3 games, Florida is 17-7 to the Under this season and the total has gone Under in 4 of Florida's last 5 games on the road. The Rangers are going to have to play better defense at home and in the conference finals, they are 8-2 to the Under in the last few seasons and they have played both home games in this series so far Under the Total.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
