Boston at Florida

Boston has not played well, short on defensive talent and depth. The Bruins rank #26 in the NHL in goals scored, last on the power play (2-for-28, 6.7 percent) and #17 in goals allowed. Boston is off a win but is just 2-7 when following a victory. Florida is the defending Atlantic Division champs and delighted to be home after a four-game trip. They are on a 7-3 run at home and play five of the next six at here. The Florida Panthers have excellent balance at #14 in goals scored, #10 in goals allowed, and are off a 5-2 win at Detroit. They got a hat trick from newcomer Colton Sceviour. This is a fast-skating Florida offense and the thin Boston defense will struggle. Take Florida.
