Bet: Artemi Panarin anytime goal (+150)
It was quite surprising to see the Russian winger be held to no points in Game one after having an excellent prior history versus the Panthers and entering with four goals and seven assists in ten playoff games.
Panarin should bounce back in a big way as his recent goal drought is now at four games and should be snapped in Game two as the Rangers will be desperate to get the win and stay alive in the series.
The Rangers being held to under three goals isn’t something that has happened often this postseason as they’ve found a way to score at least three goals in nine of their 11 playoff games.
Panarin has points in ten of his 12 career matchups versus Florida as a member of the Rangers, where he scored seven goals and 13 assists. He had multiple points in eight of the 12 games and should have a big night that helps the Rangers tie up the series.
