The set-up: Florida comes in off a 6-3 win over the Lightning, while Carolina enters off a 7-3 win over Columbus. These teams have each seen the total go "over" in three straight and this is the first time they've seen each other this season. While both teams have been playing to many high-scoring affairs this season, I beleive this opening contest finally sets up as more of a defensive affair.

The pick: Florida has seen the total go "under" in eight of its last 11 road games after scoring six or more goals in a three-goals or greater victory, while Carolina has seen the total dip below the posted number in ten of its last 14 after scoring six or more goals in a victory in its last outing. Look for these two rivals to battle to a tighter, lower-scoring contest on Wednesday night.

This is a 10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the UNDER Panthers/Hurricanes.
