Florida Will Come Swinging
The Florida Panthers have been one of the best teams in the NHL this season.
Following up their runners up last season, they have improved throughout this season. We believe that, in this series against the New York Rangers, they can come out on top and return to back-to-back Stanley Cup finals.
The Panthers have been on a roll throughout the playoffs, beating their state rivals Tampa Bay in five games. They then went on to knock out the Boston Bruins in six games in round two. The Panthers will come into this road game with nothing to lose, and we believe they can come out swinging in Madison Square Garden.
The Pick
Despite the NY Rangers being strong on home ice in recent games with a 6-1 record, we are looking to oppose them here in Game 1 of the series.
This is going to be a flip of the coin to determine the winner here. For us, the Panthers are slightly the better team and have enough playoff experience under their belt to pick up their 5th road win in 6 games in this season’s playoffs.
