Florida Panthers – Chicago Blackhawks
Pick: o5.5 @1.91
Panthers got struck with bad news as captain Barkov is out for a long time. While it’s going to affect the whole season, they still have firepower and talent on offense.
The Blackhawks are not a favored team for the playoffs this season, but they do have some good goal scorers like Donato and Bertuzzi, along with Bedard. Expect them to score one or two in this one, while the Panthers want to start the season with a blast focusing on offense more than defence in this game.
