Pick: Over 6.5 goals (-120)
The Cats key to success will be slowing down the league’s top offense as best as they can with their strength being defense as they allow the second-fewest goals behind Winnipeg with an average of 2.55 per game. These two have split their last four matchups with the Avalanche due up for a win and should look to get a few past Bobrovsky, who has allowed an average of 3.39 goals in his last eight games versus the Avs. Colorado’s goaltender, Alexandar Georgiev, has also been beatable with a goals against average of 2.94 in his last 12 games.
It should be a high-scoring game with these two combining for seven or more goals in seven of their last nine matchups including earlier this year, when the Panthers won 8-4 in an offensive explosion. They should get some points on the powerplay that ranks top four since the start of the new year and should push the Avs top offense to the brink and make them have to fight for the win.
