With all 32 teams taking the ice on Tuesday, there is bound to be back-to-back situations, and the Florida Panthers are one of the six teams on the second leg of one. The Tkachuk brothers were featured in an early afternoon Monday game, but weren't able to overcome the Sabres. So, let’s find a spot for our best Panthers vs Blue Jackets prediction.
Given how Columbus operates, another high-scoring game or pick on the Florida team total are great options here. The Jackets have struggled goaltending-wise for several seasons, and as great as defenseman Zach Werenski is, he’s more of a target for shots on goal props than anything. We also have to remember that not only is Sergei Bobrovsky no longer in Florida, but the Panthers also used their top two goaltenders in Monday’s game alone. The Buffalo Sabres gave them all they can handle, and speaking of the Sabres, the Blue Jackets beat them 6-3 not long ago. Again, that’s why a pick on the over for your Panthers vs Blue Jackets prediction is our other lean.
With that in mind, be sure to check out our overall NHL best bets for today, but even with the back-to-back and dual goaltenders yesterday, we’re still supporting the superior firepower of the Panthers.
