Devils vs Panthers Prediction

The New Jersey Devils are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with the rest advantage. The Panthers are on the end of a back-to-back and still down one of their best players in Ekblad. The Panthers also had a horrible third-period last night and blew a game against the Flyers. With all that said, the Panthers and the plus money remains valuable. Dinged up or not, the Panthers are still one of the best teams in the league. The New Jersey Devils are talented, but they’ve also lost four of their last six games and have periods where the offense disappears. The Panthers have gotten smoked by the Devils twice this season. I’m still gabbing one of the better teams in the league and plus money.
