He will play his first game on the Florida Panthers, where he was traded to last Friday during the trade deadline. The game will be a memorable one and presents the ultimate opportunity for NHL fans to potentially cash in with one of our red hot picks. For bettors, this matchup provides a chance to capitalize on some of our recent strong trends, like our 31-29 record on our last 60 picks and our 14-6 record on our last 20 underdog picks.

FLORIDA PANTHERS VS BOSTON BRUINS BEST BETS: * Bruins +1.5 (-150) * Bruins Over 2.5 goals (+115) * Pavel Zacha Over 0.5 points (-115) The Bruins were deemed as dead following the trade deadline when they dealt their captain Marchand as well as notable players like forward Charlie Coyle and defenceman Brandon Carlo.

The Bolts had just finished making significant adds to their forward group with Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand that lead many NHL insiders to proclaim them as the new Stanley Cup favourites. Boston quickly dismissed Tampa Bay and will look to keep the tide rolling against the new betting favourite to hoist lord Stanley in the Florida Panthers.

The feeling in the Panthers' room may present a feeling of uneasiness and I believe this is where we can capitalize. There's no doubt the Bruins are hearing the media calling their team dead in the water and this will surely motivate them more than ever. While the Cats are looking to adjust without one of their key defencemen, the Bruins can continue to build off their Saturday win by knocking off another notable contender.

This will have the public all over the Panthers as they are garnering 88 per cent of the moneyline bets and will likely see the puck line bets follow suit. The Panthers have also allowed 13 goals over their last four road games and should give centre Pavel Zacha a great chance to get on the board.

COMEBACK COMPLETE! WE’RE GOING GAME 9! [https://x.com/spittinchiclets/status/1719171104655261743?t=gZdS0rEG_oT8R5PnTJTAQA&s=19] We've used the Czech forward many times in the past as a way to tap into superstar David Pastrnak's production while not having to take a -330 odds on a bet. Zacha is third on the Bruins in points this season with 39 in 65 games and has six points over his last seven regular season matchups versus the Panthers.
