Florida Panthers vs St. Louis Blues Prediction
The Panthers are getting healthier and starting to stack victories as they’ve won 6 of their last 9 games. The Blues haven’t won a game in two weeks and are getting drilled defensively during this losing stretch. The Panthers have won 4 straight road games, so there’s little concern about them leaving Sunrise for this one. I have to roll with the Panthers, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
