NHL Odds: Penguins-Panthers prediction, odds and pick

Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Dallas Stars 2-1 on Monday night. The Panthers blanked the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-0. Florida won the season series last year. Pittsburgh is 9-4-2 over the last 15 games in this series. They are 3- 2 over seven previous games at FLA Live Arena.  

The Penguins are third in the Metropolitan Division with a 17-8-4 record. Sidney Crosby has 17 goals and 21 assists, with two powerplay goals. Jake Guentzel has 13 goals, and Jason Zucker has six goals with six assists. Tristan Jarry is 13-3-2 with 2.67 goals-against average and a save percentage of .920.

The Panthers made a lot of trades this summer. They gained a great player in Tkachuk, but they lost Jonathan Huberdeau. The Panthers are 14-12-4 and have struggled to deliver consistently. However, they are still scoring a high number of goals. Sergei Bobrovsky and Spencer Knight are struggling. Penguins-Panthers is a good bet.

The Penguins and Panthers are going to play a close game. The Panthers have the better team, but the Penguins can steal this game from them.
