#31/32 ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 6.5 Goals - Florida Panthers at New York Rangers, Tuesday at 7:00 PM ET – The set-up here is ideal to expect plenty of goals. The Rangers are off a 3-2 win over the Kraken but head coach Gerard Gallant was not happy with his club at all and he let them have it despite the victory. New York was heavily outshot in that game and Gallant is imploring his team to do a much better job of sustained pressure in the offensive end and generating scoring chances. The trouble for the Rangers is that they are facing a Panthers team that is one of the best in the league in that realm. Florida is constantly creating excellent scoring chances game after game and did it again last night at Columbus. Also, because this is a back to back it will likely be Spencer Knight between the pipes for the Panthers in this one. Though Knight has played better in his last two appearances this followed a stretch of 20 goals allowed over 4 starts and he also allowed 4 goals when he faced the Rangers earlier this season. If Bobrovsky starts again it will be the 2nd night of a B2B and he allowed 4 goals in last night's game at Columbus. The Rangers have been getting solid goaltending from Igor Shesterkin and he is likely to get the start here. Trouble is that he will face another barrage of shots and this Panthers team much more highly skilled than the Seattle team the Rangers just barely got by on Sunday. If Georgiev gets the call for Rangers in the crease he has struggled mightily in recent appearances. Though New York off B2B 3-2 games, 4 of 5 Rangers games before that totaled 8 or more goals and actually averaged 9 goals per game! 13 of the Panthers last 17 games have totaled at least 7 goals and Florida has scored a ridiculous average of 5 goals per game during this stretch! As you can see per all of the above, plenty of reasons to expect solid goal-scoring from both clubs in this one! Take the OVER here
