The Coach's 10* EAST-CONF TOTAL OF WEEK!
(NHL) Florida vs. NY Islanders,
Total: 5.00 | -128.00 Over
Result: Win
10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Panthers/Islanders.

The New York Islanders made the playoffs by clinching one of the wild cards in the East, but they're entering Wednesday's contest against the Atlantic Division champions the Florida Panthers with a 2-1 lead in the series. Dropping this game would put Florida in a very tough spot, and I think we'll see them tightening up on defense in order to avoid defeat.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Roberto Luongo - The Panthers netminder has not been at his very best in this series allowing a total of nine goals with a .862 save percentage. "I need the rest," Luongo told the team's official website. "Three games in four nights with an overtime, so I'm pretty exhausted right now. I need a couple days to re-energize here to get ready for Wednesday." The two days rest since Sunday's contest should have the veteran fit for fight again and ready for tonight's game.

2. Jaromir Jagr's Postseason Woes - The 44 year old has yet to score a point in the series and has gone without one for 34 consecutive playoff games. Hardly ideal as he led the team with 66 points during the regular-season.

3. X-Factor - The Islanders' Thomas Greiss has just four postseason appearances under his belt but he has been solid in this series with 106 saves for a .922 save percentage.

Selection: This is a play FLA@NYI to go UNDER the total (10*)
