Florida Panthers to win
The read: Modest edge to Florida, at home and in good form.
- Florida Panthers at home, home sides won 53% of NHL games over the last 2 seasons.
- Florida Panthers have the stronger results over recent seasons, ahead of the Winnipeg Jets.
- That home edge stays modest, road sides still won 47% of games over the same span.

After the game
WonWPG 2 – FLA 5
The Florida Panthers beat the Winnipeg Jets 5 to 2 in regulation, and the pick on Florida to win came through at the published odds of 1.44. Two straight power play goals opened the game, from late in the first period into the start of the second, and the Jets never answered with more than one goal in a row. After two periods the board read Winnipeg Jets 1, Florida Panthers 3, and the third period held that gap all the way to the final score. Florida's power play set the tempo from start to finish.
