Devils vs. Panthers Prediction

I’m on the Panthers here. I was on the Panthers in game one but didn’t anticipate having to deal with Spencer Knight as my goaltender. I think Bobrovsky gets back in goal here and I truly think that’s the difference in this game. The Panthers were red hot before the loss last time out and while the Devils are playing well too, their goaltending has a tendency to be rather spotty and make life a lot harder on themselves than it needs to be. Give me the Panthers.
