Atlanta Thrashers vs Florida Panthers Betting Picks

It has been a tough stretch for the Atlanta Thrashers as they are just 2-11 overall in their last 13 games and, in a rare event, will play Florida for the second time on this homestand. They lost a very tough game in a shootout and I'm sure they will be poised for revenge here. The Panthers have not found the win column since that overtime win here and are just 4-12 themselves in their last 16 games. The Panthers are also just 16-40 in their last 56 as a dog from +110 to +150. They also have not fared well in Atlanta at just 7-15 in their last 22 here. I'll back Atlanta in this one.

The Thrashers come into this one just 1-8 over their last nine games, and certainly doesn’t look like the kind of team ready to put away an opponent by 2 goals or more. Then again they are facing a Panthers team that has been drubbed the last two times on the ice to the tune of a pair of 5-1 setbacks. They certainly have struggled as a dog of +110 to +150 at just 15-38 in their last 53. The Panthers have also met up with a house of horrors coming to Atlanta where they have come away a winner just six times in the last 21 trips. This is a good opportunity for another Florida meltdown here, so I'll play Atlanta on the puckline.
