NHL Total of the Month Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 6.5 in Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning @ 7:05 ET - The Lightning have goalie issues with Vasilevskiy and Elliott both in covid protocols. That means Maxime Lagace likely to start again and he has struggled badly at the NHL level. The Lightning off a 5-4 OT win Tuesday and I am looking for plenty of goals again tonight. The Panthers started Sergei Bobrovsky last night in their 4-3 win over the Rangers and that means Spencer Knight likely to get the start in the 2nd game of a back to back. Also, in his last 3 starts Knight has allowed a total of 15 goals - 5 per game. He could be rusty too as he has not played in 2 and 1/2 weeks and there is a lot of scoring firepower for the Bolts so Knight is going to face a barrage of shots here. But the Panthers are one of the highest scoring teams in the league so you can see why I am expecting plenty of goals in this one. 10* OVER 6.5 in Florida
