Betting Tip
The Florida Panthers went through a difficult period of the season playing seven consecutive road games. They were up for the challenge and came back home winning 4 of those 7 games and holding the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
Now the Panthers are hosting the worst team in the conference that is already out of the playoff picture. Florida has won their last 6 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days and will add another one against Montreal. Florida has won 40 of the last 51 home games. They are the best offensive team in the league scoring 4 goals per game and they will probably go over that in an easy win over the Canadiens.
