The Panthers are coming into this game with a 1-0-0 record this season and they are coming off of a 6-4 win over the Bruins at home on Tuesday night. They already have a game under their belt so they are going to be warmed up and ready to go here. They also scored 6 goals in their 1st game so their offense is rolling and will put the puck in the net in this game. They also allowed 4 goals though and they are going up against a Senators team that played much better at home last season. This is the 1st game of the season for the Sens so they will be looking to have a good game at home where they have been much better over the last year. Their offense has been scoring a lot more goals there as well so they are going to find the net on this Panthers team that just allowed 4 goals at home. The Panthers are also the Stanley Cup Champions so the Sens are going to get up for this game as they want to be the 1st team to beat them this year. The Senators did pick up a better goaltender, but their defense has not improved that much so they are going to have a hard time keeping this potent Panthers offense out of their net. The Sens also have a lot of scoring power themselves so they are going to put up a fight in this game as well. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this game to push it over the total.
