Pick
I’m backing the Panthers here. Florida is the only team with anything of consequence on the line here, and while the Sens have given some value in some spots, this has been the Panthers M.O. this season, is beat up on teams at home and I’m still not sold on Ottawa’s goaltending right now. Florida’s stepping it up when they have to right now and as such I’ll back the Panthers here.
