Ducks vs. Panthers Pick
Ducks vs. Panthers Moneyline Pick
- Panthers -1.5 (+130)
Florida actually played more the style that we saw in their back-to-back Stanley Cup wins in their triumph over Vegas Saturday. The Panthers clamped down defensively and limited the Golden Knights’ offensive chances as they gave up only 17 shots. Look for Florida to play a similar style against the young Ducks, who have been on fire offensively but are equally dismal on the defensive end of the ice. Anaheim is prone to giving up offensive chances by the truckload and facing a team like Florida that is capable of taking advantage of those situations is a dangerous proposition. Given the experience factor that Florida has, coupled with playing on home ice, take the Panthers in this contest.
Ducks vs. Panthers Over/Under Pick
- Over 5.5 (-130) (4 units)
Anaheim enters this game having gone over the total in five of their eight games this season, including each of their last three. The Ducks have an average of 7.26 goals per game this season and that number climbs to 7.67 goals per contest in their six road games. Florida has seen the over hit in four of their 10 games on the year. The Panthers have an average total of 5.30 goals per game on the year and that number bumps to 5.40 goals per game in their five home tilts. With the way Anaheim has scored and given up goals in the early going, this game winds up over the number.
