Florida Panthers - Carolina Hurricanes - NHL

Wager: $444. We turn our focus to the NHL: Carolina Hurricanes (8-7-4) and Florida Panthers (11-9-1) will meet face to face tonight:  The game will start at 6 p.m. ET, at PNC Arena, and will be aired on FS-F, FS-CR, NHL.TV. Carolina returns home after a 2-1 loss against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Carolina scratched Klas Dahlbeck; Injured: Bryan Bickell (multiple sclerosis), Eddie Lack (concussion), Brock McGinn (upper body). Carolina is still 10th in "Goals Against" and 1st in "Penalty Kill %" categories this season, showing a perfect defense.  The Florida Panthers begin today a 6-game road trip after a 2-1 shootout win against the Columbus Blue Jackets at home in a low scoring game. Florida scratched Kyle Rau, Dylan McIlrath; Injured: J. Huberdeau (lower leg), A. Petrovic (ankle). They are 13 in "Goals Against" and 19 in "Penalty Kill %" categories.  The official, basic Las Vegas game line for O/U is (5.0 Goals), so 'Las Vegas is expecting' a low scoring game.  With that said, I pick the "Alternative Total 2-Way" option @ BET365 - Under 6.5 Goals @ 1.38 / (-260). In 2-Way markets Push rules apply. [Unless the amount to bet is specified, as is in this game, our predictions are generally made for a $100 wager.]
