The Panthers are red-hot, having won five straight games and 15 of their last 17. It's difficult to think they'll falter against a New Jersey team that just fired its head coach. Anthony Stolarz likely will get the start in net after Sergei Bobrovsky beat the Rangers on Monday and is 0-1-1 lifetime versus the Devils, but he's 5-1-0 in his last six outings and has allowed more than two goals just once in that span. Sam Reinhart is second in the NHL with a career-high 44 goals and has scored five during his current three-game streak. Take the Panthers.

We'll play the time-tested psychology here and go with the Devils after the coaching change from Lindy Ruff to Travis Green on Monday. That hardly would seem to cure New Jersey's ills which first and foremost include shortcomings in goal, which might or might not be resolved before the deadline (the Jacob Markstrom watch continues at The Rock). We do know the Panthers are off of an enthralling win over the Rangers at MSG last night and will give Sergei Bobrovsky a rest in goal tonight in Newark, though Anthony Stolarz hasn't proven much of a drop-off in reserve. The potential "new coach bounce" motivates this pick tonight. Play Devils on Money Line
