Notably, Columbus just shut down one of the best teams in the NHL(Hurricanes) and handed them a 6-0 shutout in the process. However, it may be an anomaly or possibly even a fluke.
Reasons being, in current form they lost to Chicago and New Jersey in their last four games, two squads under .500 and no where the caliber of Carolina/Florida.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: UNDER 6.5
As we’re siding with Florida and no value exists on the moneyline or even the puckline in this situation. We’ve analyzed the totals and due to these squads recent high flying score totals, the total is sky high at 6.5.
Although, we do believe Florida will score a ton of goals, Columbus will stutter after their adrenaline dissipates after the blowout of Carolina.
