Shane’s Free Pick

This game is going to be lower scoring. The Panthers' offense is averaging 2.9 goals per game and they have really struggled to score the last couple of games. The Senators' offense is good, but the Panthers offense is going to step up in a big way and that will be the difference here. This game is going to be lower scoring, and the under is going to cash. This is a very strong play.
