Look for an intense, defensive matchup as not only is this an important game for both teams, but it's the first of three times Florida and Boston will play during the final nine days of the regular season. So hard-hitting and tight forechecking should get established right away.

The Panthers shut out the Bruins, 3-0, in the first meeting this season on March 15.

The Panthers carry a fatigue rating playing for the third time in four days. So they are likely to keep the pace slow. This is a very early start time, too.

The Under has cashed seven of the last nine times the Panthers have played in this type of situation.

Boston has held four of its last five opponents to two goals or fewer. Florida has failed to score more than three goals in eight of its last 10 games.

The series also has an Under bias in Boston with the Under only winning in three of the last 17 matchups played there between the two teams.
