Florida Panthers vs. Detroit Red Wings Prediction

I’m on the Panthers here. I get the case to be made for the Red Wings at a nice underdog price considering how good Detroit looked in their wins over Toronto, but Florida are still your defending champions, and have been really solid with Sergei Bobrovsky in net. I’m just not there with Detroit as of yet, and I think Florida gets the job done here. Give me the Panthers.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Florida -145
