The high-scoring, but defensively challenged Panthers are nearly becoming an Over auto-play when their total opens below 6. That's the case here against Carolina.

Florida ranks fourth in goals per game at 3.6. The Panthers are averaging 4.4 goals during their past five games. They should reach their average against the Hurricanes' average defense.

However, the Panthers' defense gives back everything. Florida yields the most goals and shots per goal in the league. The Panthers also are second-to-last in penalty killing.

The Hurricanes' below average offense should fare well here against such a weak defense. Florida has surrendered 20 goals in its last three games. Carolina has scored three or more goals in three of its last five games.
