The Rangers won both games against the Panthers this season, 6-2 and 5-3. Sergei Bobrovksy has a 3.93 GAA in his last five home games, and he allowed the Rangers five goals in his start against them earlier this season. With the Panthers averaging 3.57 goals per game and the Rangers averaging 3.32, we should see an emphasis on offense from both sides. Not only have six of the last seven Panthers games have gone over, but the over has hit in 15 straight regular season games between these teams; I like our chances of this being the 16th.

The Panthers are 0-2 vs. the Rangers this season, despite outshooting New York in both games, 70-54 combined. The Rangers just played a home-and-home against Carolina, so this seems like a letdown spot. Florida should be motivated, as the team is only one point behind the Penguins for the final wild card spot. The Panthers own a +390 shot differential, while New York is +156. The home team is 5-1 in the past six meetings. I'm on Florida.
