Carolina has got off to a great start to the season at 8-3-1 including 5-1-1 on the road. Carolina is coming off a home loss to Toronto that snapped their 4 game winning streak. Florida is coming home off a California road trip. Florida will be without their top scorer Matthew Tkachuk who is serving the 2nd of a 2 game suspension. I don’t like this spot for Florida traveling across the country and getting one day off before facing a strong team in the Hurricanes.
