Both clubs dropped their first game. Both feel that they deserved a better fate. The Panthers are playing without a pair of key defensemen though and that will continue to be an issue. The Jets beat the Panthers 5-2 here last season. They're 40-21 their last 61 home games with a total of six or more. They'll benefit from the last line change, the favorite improving to 14-6 the past 20 meetings. *Slap Shot Club
