NHL Blowout Crusher
(NHL) Florida vs. Chicago,
Money Line: -118.00 Florida (Away)
Result: Loss
ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON Florida Panthers Money Line -120 over Chicago Blackhawks at 8 PM ET - Very strong line value here. The Panthers are without Aleksander Barkov here and they are on the road. However, the situation was exactly the same on Tuesday and yet Florida went off the board as a -160 favorite. Now the Panthers are priced in the -120 range in the rematch because the markets have over-reacted to Barkov's absence. Even without Barkov on Tuesday Florida still outshot Chicago. The Blackhawks hung on for the 3-2 win but now the Panthers will get their revenge. Prior to that loss, Florida had won all 4 meetings with Chicago this season and the combined score of those games was 20 to 11. That said, the Panthers have dominated for long stretches in these match-ups this season. Now Florida enters this game off back to back losses and they have not lost 3 straight games this entire season. In fact, the Panthers are 9-2 this season when they enter a game off a loss. The Blackhawks, prior to the 3-2 win Tuesday, had lost 4 straight games and 6 of their last 7. Given the situation, if this game was at Florida and Barkov was healthy, this line would be about a -200 on the Panthers. That shows you what kind of value we're getting here. Given that fact as well as the revenge factor and coach Joel Quenneville again facing his former team but this time off a loss, you know what kind of effort Florida is going to bring here and others will step up with Barkov set to miss this game. The better team laying a very small price here and they send the Blackhawks to their 7th loss in the last 9 games! In the process Florida improves to 10-2 this season when off a loss! VALUE! Take the PANTHERS
