Game 6: rangers vs panthers preview & pick
The Game: NY Rangers vs florida panthers, 8 PM ET
Team | Puckline | Total | Moneyline |
---|---|---|---|
NY Rangers | +1.5 (-185) | O5.5 (+114) | +142 |
Florida Panthers | -1.5 (+154) | U5.5 (-135) | -170 |
Josie's Take: The Florida Panthers can advance into their second consecutive Stanley Cup Final (must be nice) with a home win at Amerant Bank Arena. Oddsmakers are tagging them as heavy favorites to do it, too.
Florida has been dominating the even strength play and snapping 114 shots over the last three matchups, not recording lower than 37 shots in a single game.
The Cats' defense has held the Rangers to two goals in back-to-back outings. Meanwhile, Igor Shesterkin .927SV% this postseason has kept the losses less painful and stopping enough shots for a closer scoreboard.
All but one game has hit the UNDER this series. In a do-or-die scenario, I expect Shesterkin to keep the Panthers out of the net enough and Florida's defense to continue staying diligent.
Pick: UNDER 5.5 (-135)
