PANTHERS POWERED BY POWERPLAY

The Florida Panthers have ripped off four straight wins heading into Monday’s road game against the Minnesota Wild. Florida has been scoring with ease of late as it leads the league in goals per game (4.2) over its last 10 games and its best chance of beating the Wild will be with their special teams.

Florida is scoring at a clip of 30 percent on the powerplay in the new year and will get to work against a Minnesota penalty kill that sits second-last with a 65-percent success rate. Minnesota is also struggling to find consistency between the pipes as Alex Stalock (2.83 GAA .902 SV%) and Devan Dubnyk (3.35 GAA .892 SV%) are both getting starts as it tries to find a clear No. 1.

We are starting the week off by taking the road dog Panthers on the moneyline.


LIVING OUT OF A SUITCASE

Since changing their coach after losing four straight, the Vegas Golden Knights have collected three points in the two games with Peter DeBoer behind the bench. The Knights travel to Boston to take on the Bruins who are coming off two hard-fought games versus the Pittsburgh Penguins with the most recent contest seeing the B’s blow a 3-0 lead in a 4-3 loss. Both teams will enter their five-day break ahead of the All-Star weekend and will want to get a win before the long layover.

Vegas has been on the road for the last seven days and will be underdogs against a Bruins team that has collected nine out of a possible 12 points in its last six home games and is 9-3-3 against Western Conference opponents. Boston also knocked off the Knights 4-3 in Vegas back in October.

We like the home team here against a well-traveled team with a break on the horizon. Take the Bruins on the moneyline.


OVER BEFORE THE BREAK

Both the Chicago Blackhawks and Florida Panthers will play their last game before the break Tuesday in the Windy City. Chicago has scored 17 goals in its last four games are 3-2 O/U in its last five and 4-1 O/U in its last five at home.

Florida has been an Over machine this year going 28-16-3 and is 4-1 O/U over the last five games. They will also be on the backend of a back-to-back and could be starting backup goalie Sam Montembeault who has allowed five goals in three of his last five games.

We are taking the Over 6 for this Tuesday evening tilt.


BLUE JACKETS BANDWAGON

The Columbus betting bandwagon is filling up and with good reason. The Blue Jackets are 8-2 SU over their last 10 and have won as an underdog six times during that stretch. A lot of the team’s success has to do with the play of goalie Elvis Merzlikins.

The King is 8-2 SU since taking over the starting duties and the Latvian has picked up three shutouts along the way. Merzlikins has been padding Under backers’ pockets as the Under has hit in eight of his last 10 starts, including his last five.

The Jets travel to Columbus on Wednesday before the league heads to the All-Star break. Winnipeg is 9-10-1 versus the East this year and 4-6 SU in its last 10 road games. We like the Jackets to continue their winning ways and also love the Under.


GOALIE PROFILE: PHILIPP GRUBAUER, COLORADO AVALANCHE

The Avs No. 1 goalie seems to have gotten his mojo back as his January has been his best month statistically — 2.50 goals against and .910 save percentage. After a winless stretch that spanned six games, Grubauer has wins in four of his last six. Even with the good performances though, the Avs and Grubauer are hitting the Overs more times than not.

The Over has hit in five of his seven starts in January with an average combined goals of 7.8. On Monday afternoon, Colorado hosts the Detroit Red Wings who are 3-3 O/U in their six and are averaging just 1.8 goals for and 3.4 goals against in their last 10.


INJURY UPDATE: D DOUGIE HAMILTON, CAROLINA HURRICANES

The Carolina Hurricanes will be without their best defenseman for an extended amount of time as the team’s leader in ice time suffered a broken leg. Hamilton was having a Norris Trophy-type season as he was third in points and second in assists on the team. The loss is a big hit to the Canes’ powerplay that Hamilton quarterbacked and led in ice time.

Carolina has the worst powerplay since January 1, scoring just 8.3 percent so the absence of Hamilton could make a bad situation even worse. Without Hamilton, they have scored just five goals in three games while also hitting the Under in six straight. Look for the Canes to continue to struggle on offense and look to hit the Under on Tuesday when Carolina hosts the Jets.


HAT TRICK TRENDS

• The Columbus Blue Jackets own the best Under record at home with a 7-19 O/U record. They have also hit the Under in seven straight games. The BJs will finish up the games before the break on Wednesday as they host the Winnipeg Jets. On the year, the Jets are 12-12 O/U on the road.

• Looking to play some back-to-back trends? Only two teams will play B2B this week. The Florida Panthers play on Monday and Tuesday and the Winnipeg Jets play on Tuesday and Wednesday. Florida is 4-5 SU and 4-5 O/U in the frontend of B2Bs this year and 6-3 SU and 4-5 O/U in the backend. The Jets are 4-1 SU and 2-3 O/U on the frontend of their B2Bs and 2-3 SU and 4-1 O/U in the backend.

• The Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators have scored the most first-period goals this month while the Vegas Golden Knights and Philadelphia Flyers have allowed the most first-period goals. Florida is 5-2-1 SU in the first frame since January 1 and the Knights are 2-5-1 SU in first-period moneylines this month.
