The Panthers and Bruins met last Tuesday in Sunrise, and Florida fired out to a 4-1 lead after 20 minutes, and it had a 5-1 lead before Boston mounted a comeback. The Panthers will likely see Jeremy Swayman this time, and not Joonas Korpisalo, so goals shouldn’t be as easily attainable. However, 5.5 is a low line, and we should get six or more goals with these two offenses.

Utah is on the road, but their momentum is already at an all-time high. Not only have they won all of their games, but those victories have come against strong teams like the New York Rangers and New York Islanders. Yes, these games have been close, but Utah has shown that they have what it takes to ride momentum and show up when it counts. Their offense has been elite, and strong enough to cover any defensive blunders. It may be a while until things cool down for this team, especially while they play teams who seem unsure if they are going to be real  competitors. 

The New York Rangers will be looking to bounce back on home ice against the Detroit Red Wings who lack the off-season additions to make this team a legit Stanley Cup Contender. Netminder Igor Shesterkin will have a much better game after allowing six goals against in his previous outing. Side with the home team in this one.

The Yankees are electing to start a left-hander for Game 1 of the series despite Cleveland’s noticeably better splits against southpaw hurlers this season. Alex Cobb may not work deep into the game for the Guardians but his ground ball approach should work through at least a few frames before the team’s elite bullpen takes over. I like the Guardians in Game 1.

Josh Allen is coming off arguably the worst performance of his career and has struggled against the Jets in MetLife the past two seasons. It’s been an eventful week for the Jets, but with Saleh gone Rodgers can run things his way and that spells victory for New York in this one.
