#7/8 ASA PLAY ON 8* OVER 5.5 Goals (-115) - Florida Panthers at Carolina Hurricanes, Saturday at 8:05 PM ET - The Hurricanes, not including OT scoring of course, have scored 20 goals in their last 6 home games. Overall, in the series with New Jersey, the Canes averaged 4.6 goals scored per game! The Panthers, not including OT scoring of course, have averaged scoring 3.3 goals per game last 7 road games - all 7 of them wins! Florida is very confident bunch here based on all their road successes in this post-season including the dramatic 3-2 quadruple-OT win in game 1 of this series. However, Carolina also very confident on home ice and we could see this one turning into a back and forth high-scoring affair in which a 4-3 type of final would not be a surprise at all. The Hurricanes must respond after the Game 1 loss but also there is going to be tired legs defensively on both teams as the defensemen get more extra work than the forwards in long multi-OT games like that simply because there are fewer defensemen on the roster. Over is our play here.
