I was going to follow John and pick the Panthers to win this game but had a feeling that it was Spencer Knight's turn in net ... and it is. Thus, I have no interest in Florida at -180 now. This total rose from 6.5 to 7 at some books with the Knight news vs the Knights. Makes sense, but I still have to go Under 7 on principle even though Florida could score 7 at home itself. Vegas' Robin Lehner comes off a shutout of the Capitals. Again, it's not that easy for an NHL game to see eight total goals scored. We might push.

Both these teams are very capable of scoring goals and the sportsline sims have this total ending at 7.6. Knights are 12-6 to the over on the road this season while the Panthers are 18-6 to the over at home this season. Both teams are relatively healthy and both goalies have struggled to find consistency. I think both teams score at least 3 tonight, take the over.

Panthers are returning home after a successful 3-2 5-game road trip. They are 21-3-0 at home this season. Vegas has lost 6 of their last 9 games and their two most recent wins were against the Canadiens and the struggling Caps. Knights should be without a couple key players again tonight while the Panthers are healthy. Take the Panthers at home.

Each team has done well to exceed this number of late, as the Golden Knights have gone Over it in 10 of their last 13 road games and the Panthers have done so in 11 of their past 12 at home. Vegas is scoring an average of 3.5 goals per contest on the road, while Florida is producing an impressive 4.75 at home. Both teams rely heavily on their offenses, so we should expect quite a few goals.
