Boston enters this game after a 2-1 overtime win against the Toronto Maple Leafs in game 7 to win the series 4-3. Boston has scored 4 goals total over their last 3 games.

Florida enters this game rested after defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1 in the series scoring at least 3 goals in every game.

While Boston did win all 4 meetings between the teams during the regular season Boston struggled in that 7 game series against Toronto when they had chances to run away with the series.

Florida has won 8 of their last 9 games going back to the regular season winning 5 of the 8 wins by multiple goals. Florida is rested in this game while Boston is coming off a tough fought series against Toronto. I like a rested Panthers team to take care of business in game 1.

Pick: Florida Panthers -1.5
