NHL Pick: Under 5.5 Goals (+110) at Bet365
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers
Tuesday, April 23, 2024 – 07:30 PM ET at Amerant Bank Arena
Betting Trends
- The total has gone under in 8 of Florida’s last 11 games against Tampa Bay.
- The total has gone under in 5 of Florida’s last 6 games.
All Going Under in Florida
The Florida Panthers’ style of hockey very much suits post-season hockey, and they proved that in game one with a 3-2 win over the Lightning. Florida doesn’t mind if they win a game 1-0 or 4-3 once they come out on top and they like to prioritize defense over offense. At the same time, their offense is very strong, especially their top two lines.
The total to go under 5.5 seems very tempting for this game two matchup, not just because history is on our side, but also because we are getting plus money.
The Pick
We expected to see the under 5.5 line swaying more towards the minus money than the plus money, and we are more than happy to bet this down to -105 NHL betting odds.
The Panthers like to keep things tight and slow the pace down, Tampa knows they can’t leave themselves too exposed, which should make for another low-scoring affair.
