Maple Leafs Expected to Outshine Panthers in Away Game
Florida Panthers Struggling at Home Against the Maple Leafs
In a nail-biting NHL showdown, the Florida Panthers are facing off against the Toronto Maple Leafs at home, but the tide seems to be turning against the defending Stanley Cup champions. The Panthers have been on a losing streak, having lost an unlucky five straight games. Tonight, they aim to turn things around.
The under has proved to be a safe bet for the Panthers, with it hitting in five out of their last six games. Interestingly enough, the under has also been a common occurrence in games between Toronto and Florida, hitting in eleven out of the last fourteen matches.
Under the Stars (5.5 Goals) -110
The Panthers have been unable to score many goals recently, making the under a popular choice among bettors. In fact, over the team's last six games, they have lost five and failed to meet the set points total by NHL betting sites in five of those instances. Torontotoo has struggled to hit game totals, with four of their recent games going under.
To increase the security for those betting on the under, betting sites like Bovada offer -185 odds for the game to go under an alternate total of 6.5.
Injury Woes for the Panthers
The Panthers are dealing with a significant number of injuries, including key players such as Aleksander Barkov, Dmitry Kulikov, and Matthew Tkachuk who are currently listed as out. Four more players are listed as day to day, and Aaron Ekblad is still serving a suspension for failed PED testing. These injuries have certainly played a role in the team's recent struggles.
Maple Leafs Favorites to Win
