This is a 10* on FLORIDA

Though they lost in overtime at Columbus on Tuesday (1-0), the Panthers have been one of the league's hotter teams over the last month or so. They went into the All Star Break on a six-game win streak. Might the time off have stunted their momentum? They've lost two of three since and were shut out in both defeats. But all three games since the All Star Break were on the road. Tonight the Panthers finally return home where they have not played a game since January 16th. While they were shut out in the two losses since the Break, Florida has scored four or more goals in each of its last seven wins. We expect a big offensive night here against a Vegas team that is probably feeling a bit homesick right now. The Panthers average 4.0 goals/game when playing on home ice. The Golden Knights have been on the road since January 14th and couldn't get the job done Tuesday in Tampa Bay where they lost 4-2. Florida's record vs. teams that have losing records is 15-7 this year. Play on FLORIDA
