Predators vs. Panthers Prediction

I’m on the Panthers here. I get the allure of backing an underdog in some spots, and one could wonder about a bit of rust from the Panthers having not played since the weekend because of their two-game set in Finland. However, the Predators continue to be hard-to-back with how inconsistent they’ve been and the Panthers are still the better team and overly rested with the Preds in the second half of the back-to-back. Give me Florida here.
