This is an 8* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Florida Panthers.

We had a big play on the Panthers in their loss to the Flames on Friday night and obviously we're still a little shocked by the overall effort that Florida gave in that one. Calgary was coming off a hard-fought 3-2 win in Tampa just the night before, but the Panthers were unable to take advantage and fell 4-2. Here's the perfect opponent to get untracked against though as Ottawa comes to town with zero momentum after a 3-0 loss at Carolina. And if recent history is any indication, then clearly the Panthers have to be loving their chances today for a bounce back as they've already taken two of three in the season series. Note that Ottawa ist just 9-10 (-1.3 units) against the division this year, while Florida is 11-4 (+6.5 units) after a loss by two goals or more in its previos contest. We like the hungry home side to find a way to get the job done here, play on the PANTHERS.
