Both the Panthers and Rangers had winning streaks snapped in their last games. Florida had won five in a row. But the Panthers were outscored, 7-1, during the final two periods by the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

I don't see the Panthers snapping back so fast against the Rangers, who are 6-2 in their last eight games.

New York is 4-0 in its last four home games. The Panthers have lost during nine of their last 13 away games to the Rangers. Florida also carries a high fatigue rating as this marks its fifth game in eight days.

So I'll go ahead and take a plus price with the Rangers.
