Florida are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road.
Vegas are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Vegas' last 6 games at home.
Prediction
The Panthers are on a winning streak and are scoring over 4 goals per game in their last 10 games. The Golden Knights are on a losing streak but they're .500 at home with a 16-16 record. I'm really tempted to take the Golden Knights at home but with the Panthers hot offense I think the safest bet is the over.
