6 Unit Play. #8 Take Florida -110 over Columbus (7:05 Eastern NHL Center Ice) Florida gets Columbus at home fighting for that last spot in the eastern conference race. After a flat effort earlier in the week vs the Capitols the Panthers bounced back to beat the Maple Leafs 3-1 breaking a four game losing streak. Florida can't afford to come out flat and to get points in your home building becomes heighten this time of the year. Columbus comes into Florida looking in good shape for the playoffs for their first time in franchise history winners of seven of their last eleven, the Blue Jackets are off a see-saw win vs the Blackhawks and get the Panthers in desperate mode. I think Florida understands the importance of these points with a tough game on deck vs Carolina. I made this number slight higher at Florida being a thirty cent favorite, so I will back the Panthers here tonight.

Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports
