With 12 games to play, there’s plenty of action to choose from tonight as NHL Coast to Coast returns on Prime Video Canada, highlighted by multiple divisional showdowns. These include a massive rematch between Central Division rivals Winnipeg and Colorado from last year’s postseason, a Pacific Division clash in LA between the Kings and Vancouver and a thrilling Eastern Conference showdown between the Islanders and Ottawa.

But the game that intrigues me the most is the Florida Panthers’ game against the struggling Nashville Predators, as I see clear value in what appears to be an impending blowout.

Let’s take a deep dive into this non-conference showdown.

WHY NASHVILLE: Before losing two straight, the Predators had won four of their last six. They have won three of the last five meetings, most of them 3-0 at Amerant Bank Arena, with Filip Forsberg scoring two goals in the win. With Steven Stamkos – someone who knows the Panthers incredibly well – and Jonathan Marchessault now on the team, they will have confidence heading into today’s game.

WHY FLORIDA: The Panthers have won five straight, including two straight wins against one of the preseason favorites to win outright, the Dallas Stars – both by two goals. During the winning streak, they outscored their opponents 24-12 overall – a perfect 2-1 ratio for a puck line game. Sam Reinhart comes into tonight’s game with a four-game goal streak and a five-game point streak (5 goals, 4 assists) and could spark the offense.

THE PICK – PANTHERS -1.5 goals +125: Florida catches the Predators at the perfect time and will be able to flex its offensive muscles against a travel-weary team that had to deal with Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals last night. With this being their third game in four nights in three cities (Nashville, DC and Sunrise), there’s a good chance the Predators will be sluggish against the high-scoring Panthers, who rank sixth with 3.69 goals per game this season will be. That average jumps to 4.80 during the team’s five-game losing streak, making it the fourth-highest in the NHL.
