Florida sits atop the Atlantic Division with the second-best record in the NHL, and the Panthers have won seven of nine, including 3-2 in overtime over Carolina on Wednesday. The Panthers also have gone OVER in five of their last seven games and four of their past five as road favorites. The only meeting this season went OVER when Florida won 5-4 in November, and Minnesota has easily gone OVER its last two games, including a 6-3 loss at Winnipeg two nights ago when Cam Talbot got bombarded, allowing five goals. Florida is 11-4 versus a team that allowed at least five goals its previous game and 16-5 overall against opponents with winning records. Seven of the last nine meetings have gone OVER, and the Wild are 9-4 OVER as home underdogs (24-7 OVER their past 31 home games). Back the Panthers for a Max Play, and also go with the OVER.
