Florida at Columbus

Florida has won three straight and eight of its last 10 after beating San Jose 5-4 in overtime on Saturday and rallying from a 4-2 third-period deficit. Sergei Bobrovsky had 30 saves and improved to 22-4-1-2 in another spectacular season. Columbus has won two in a row and will likely go with Elvis Merzlikins in net tonight, who is 14-11-0-1 with a 3.18 goals-against average, losing three of his past four starts. The Panthers lead the league in scoring and have beaten the Blue Jackets seven times in a row, including a 9-2 rout on Jan. 15. Florida is 49-20 its past 69 games versus teams with losing records, and 36-15 after scoring at least five goals its previous game. Columbus is 3-8 playing on no rest. Play the Panthers.
