Nashville is 2-5 in their last 7 games overall and 1-6 in their last 7 road games while the over is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games as an underdog. Florida is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall and 35-17 in their last 52 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 34-16-3 in their last 53 home games.

This matchup on Thursday was a great game that went to OT and I think we could see some of the similar fireworks in the rematch. The goaltending’s been questionable in Nashville to say the least and Florida’s didn’t look great last night either. But there’s clearly offensive talent on both sides here, so I’ll side with the over in this spot.
