The two leaders of the Eastern Conference are meeting, Florida is in great shape now - 7 wins in a row, although the last win was achieved in a shootout over Philadelphia (4:3).
New Jersey is 1 point behind Florida, but the Devs have played 3 more games, so they can still be overtaken by 4 teams in the division in terms of points lost. Still, it's worth noting that New Jersey are in pretty good shape.
Nominally Florida looks like the favourite, given the form of the ‘cats’, but any series in the NHL ends, so it is better to bet on pucks, especially since Florida and New Jersey are also the most productive clubs in the conference.
Prediction: at least 6 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 5.5" bet, odds 1.64
