The Florida Panthers and Columbus Blue Jackets are set to square off at Nationwide Arena, and I truly believe this one is mispriced.
Florida comes into this one as slight 54% favorites at Novig, and we're riding with the road team in my Panthers vs. Blue Jackets prediction.
Tap into my NHL picks for Tuesday, Nov. 10 - let's sweep the night away.
TOP PICK
Panthers vs Blue Jackets prediction: Panthers
The Florida Panthers made quick work of Columbus in their first meeting this season, cruising to a 7-3 victory, and I'm expecting more of the same tonight. Florida is averaging 3.4 goals per game over its last 10 contests, has a top-10 power play, and will leave a Blue Jackets team sitting 29th in average scoring (2.53) behind tonight.
Columbus simply hasn't shown enough to convince me it can hang with Florida, and I'm expecting the Panthers to expose them once again.
COVERS INTEL: Florida's defensive system is sound, ranking second in the NHL in expected goals against. In a matchup against a team that simply can't put the puck in the net, that's going to give us a significant edge.
Panthers vs Blue Jackets combo
We're going with a full Panthers combo - I'm not taking a chance with the Blue Jackets scoring just one or two goals; I'm instead riding with a couple of cash cows.
Sam Reinhart has recorded a point in five of the last six games, while Seth Jones has the sixth-most assists among all defensemen this season. In a potential lopsided game, I'll take 'em both.
Panthers vs Blue Jackets combo
- Panthers moneyline
- Sam Reinhart 1+ point
- Seth Jones 1+ point
Panthers vs Blue Jackets player prop: Seth Jones 1+ assist
Jones has been an apple machine this season, owning the sixth-most assists among all defensemen this season. Jones is also tied for the NHL lead among defensemen with 12 power-play points, and with Florida converting at a 31% clip over its last seven games, he has another excellent opportunity to get on the scoresheet tonight.
Remember, he absolutely torched Columbus in their first meeting, dishing out four assists in Florida's 7-3 win on Oct. 13.
Panthers vs Blue Jackets goal scorer: Sam Reinhart
Reinhart has nine goals in 18 games this season, is averaging 3.17 shots on goal per game, and is leading the NHL in expected goals on the man advantage. With six power-play goals to his resume against a bottom-10 penalty kill, Reinhart is one of the most dangerous scoring threats to watch tonight.
