Stephen Nover's NHL Total of the Week - 12-4 NHL Games of Week/Month
(NHL) Florida vs. Chicago,
Total: 6.00 | -119.00 Over
Result: Loss
Florida and Chicago have met four times this season: The Panthers are 4-0. The scores of those games were 4-2, 6-3, 5-2 and 5-4. That's an average combined total of 7.7 goals per game. 
I'm certainly not expecting fewer goals to be scored in this meeting. 
After some initial promise sparked by rookie goalie Kevin Lankinen, the Blackhawks' defense has regressed to where it was perceived before the season - being awful. Chicago is surrendering an average of 4.5 goals during its last seven games. That, of course, would rank last if computed out for the entire season. Chicago does allow the most shots on goal. 
Florida is the third-highest scoring team in the NHL at 3.4 goals a game. The Panthers also take the second-most shots on goal. Florida has scored at least 3 goals in six of its past seven road games. 
The Blackhawks should be primed for a strong performance. This is their first game since Saturday and first home contest since March 7. The Blackhawks average 2.9 goals a game. Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat make Chicago respectable on offense. The Blackhawks have scored 3 or more goals in nine of their last 10 home games.
