Blue Jackets vs. Panthers prediction: NHL picks, odds Tuesday

The Columbus Blue Jackets have been a great over bettors' team since the beginning of last season. The team has a young, talented and inconsistent team with a thin defense and unreliable goalie. Games featuring the Blue Jacket average 7.03 goals this season, but the last three games have seen them score 9.3 goals.

The Florida Panthers have been good to Over bettors the past two seasons. The only team that has cashed more Over tickets than Florida since the beginning of 2021-22 is Columbus. Florida's offense has regressed from last season's record-setting pace, but the Panthers are still 11th in goals per game and second in expected goals created at five-on-five. Columbus is 21st in goal percentage and 22nd in save percentage on the season.

The play is Blue Jackets-Panthers over 7 (BetMGM).
