Panthers at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

Chris Driedger (1-0-1, 1.92 GAA, .934 SV%) at Thomas Greiss (0-4-2, 3.01 GAA, .897 SV%)

Driedger is expected to make the start with the quick turnaround despite the fact Sergei Bobrovsky looked sharp in Saturday’s 3-2 overtime win. Driedger picked up a victory last season against the Red Wings, allowing four goals on 39 shots in a 5-4 win on Dec. 28, 2019, in Sunrise.

Greiss will likely be pressed into action again despite the back-to-back situation. Backup Jonathan Bernier is dealing with an upper-body injury, and he was unavailable for Saturday’s game. Greiss did well, giving his team a chance in Saturday’s outing.

Panthers at Red Wings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Panthers 4, Red Wings 2

Money line (ML)

The PANTHERS (-165) will have a rested goaltender, and that will pay big dividends in the second end of the back-to-back situation. Florida has won seven in a row in this series, and 13 of their past 16 trips to the Motor City. The favorite has also cashed in seven straight in this series, so the Panthers are a good bet.

Against the spread (ATS)

The PANTHERS -1.5 (+155) are worth a small-unit bet in this road outing, as they look for better results than Saturday. Greiss is working for a second straight day and might not be quite as sharp as he was last time out.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 5.5 (-120) is also worth a small-unit wager, and you will need the Panthers to do most of the lifting. Driedger could be the No. 1 goalie on many NHL teams, and he has allowed just two goals in each of his outings.

The Over is 5-2-1 in the past eight games overall for the Panthers. For the Red Wings, all trends point to the Under, but tired legs after playing less than 24 hours ago will lead to more defensive lapses and more scoring chances for both sides.

The Florida Panthers (3-0-1) travel to meet the Detroit Red Wings (2-5-1) at Little Caesars Arena Saturday for a 7 p.m. ET puck drop. Below, we analyze the Panthers-Red Wings NHL odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Panthers at Red Wings: Odds, spread and lines

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:09 a.m. ET.

• Money line: Panthers -175 (bet $175 to win $100) | Red Wings +150 (bet $100 to win $150)
• Against the spread/ATS: Panthers -1.5 (+155) | Red Wings +1.5 (-190)
• Over/Under: 6 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Panthers at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky (2-0-0, 3.35 GAA, .879 SV%) at Thomas Greiss (0-4-1, 3.04 GAA, .899 SV%)

Bobrovsky has made a pair of starts after finally being deemed fit to make his season debut Jan. 19. He has allowed seven goals but received plenty of offensive support with 4.5 goals per game. Both of Bob’s starts have been one-goal wins, and each outing has required at least overtime to decide a winner.

Greiss is finding life tough in the Motor City as he actually has a better GAA and SV% than his counterpart, but it’s all about offensive support. Detroit has scored a total of four goals in his four starts, while he has yielded three or fewer goals during the starts. He has deserved a better fate.

Panthers at Red Wings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Panthers 4, Red Wings 2

Money line (ML)

The PANTHERS’ -175 is right about my limit for a standalone money line play. But Florida will be worth it as Detroit has struggled to score goals. The Wings won’t be able to penetrate the net of Bobrovsky, who is generally very good against the dregs of the league. He was 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA, .980 SV% and one shutout in two starts against the Red Wings last season. Florida has won six in a row in this series, too, and six of the past seven visits to the LCA.

Against the spread (ATS)

The PANTHERS -1.5 (+155) are worth a roll of the dice on the puck line as the Red Wings offense has been rather toothless. Florida has put up plenty of numbers to back its tendy.

Over/Under (O/U)

I expect the O/U 6 (-110) to be right on the number, so I’d avoid playing this total. If I had a lean, I’d look Over, which is 5-1-1 in Florida’s past seven, although the Under is 4-1 in Detroit’s past five. The best bet is the one you don’t make sometimes. AVOID.
