1.33Tip and bets
Florida got some rest time after the game against Pittsburgh. The Panthers didn't beat their opponents in the second half of March, but they played really well at home. Utah looks terrible on this segment of the regular season. The Salt Lake team is constantly failing defensively and conceding in large numbers. Clayton Keller's squad lost to the Cats in the only match between rivals in history on their ice. We think that Paul Maurice's team will be stronger now. We offer a bet on winning first in regular time.
Our betting tip is a Florida victory in 1.65
Betting on an individual total
Utah has conceded 26 goals in the last five games and has been very weak on its half of the ice. The guests don't have much choice among goalkeepers, because Connor Ingram is still in the infirmary. Florida, on the other hand, consistently plays hard on its ice and often scores a lot. We believe that the hosts will be able to shoot at least four times at the opponent's goal.
Betting Tip - Florida's individual total is more than 3.5 goals per 2.00
Bet on the total
The only match between the teams did not turn out to be very productive. Both teams tried to score for a long time, but eventually they opened up in the third 20 minutes and put on a show. Right now, Utah has big problems defensively, so it will try to play offensively. Florida will definitely find its moments, so we believe in bright hockey.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.78
