NHL scoring is up over half a goal per game this season compared to last, but I still think we'll see this matchup between the Florida Panthers and the New Jersey Devils stay under the total.

The Panthers have seen eight of their last nine games go under the total and under is 6-0 in their last six road games. The Devils are coming off a 4-3 OT win at Detroit but their last five home games have gone under the total. Nothing is confirmed as of the posting of this free pick, but I expect to see Cory Schneider in net for New Jersey and he has posted a 2.23 GAA in previous career meetings with Florida.

The Devils edged the Panthers 2-1 on Nov. 11 and under is 3-1-1 in the last five head-to-head meetings.

My free pick is on Under.
