I think there’s value betting on Game 1 to get away from the Bruins and this series to end quickly.
to finish a roller-coaster series against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night and now have to get right back on the horse for Game 1 of Round 2 against the Florida Panthers on Monday evening.
It’s not an ideal scenario for the Bruins to have to snap back into focus after winning Game 7 on Saturday, but they’ve got no choice and can’t have any complaints.FanDuelThe odds for this series may seem pretty drastic since these two teams were separated by just one point in the standings this season, but there are some signals that point to the gap being wider than the table suggests.
For one, Florida is coming off a terrific gentleman’s sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning in Round 1. The Panthers, as expected, were the stronger team at 5-on-5 and contained Nikita Kucherov for the majority of the series. While the Panthers were full value for their Round 1 victory, the Bruins had to slug it out against the Leafs, who were missing William Nylander, Auston Matthews and Joseph Woll at various times in the series.
The Bruins really struggled to create anything offensively at 5-on-5 against the Leafs and relied on the heroics of Jeremy Swayman in goal, a huge special teams advantage and a moment of magic from David Pastrnak to get the job done. And it isn’t just recent results that is causing the betting market to side with the Panthers. Although these two teams finished neck-and-neck in the standings, there’s a lot of context that is needed. The most obvious red flag is that Florida finished with a much better goal difference. The Cats were +68 on the campaign, while the B’s finished at +43.Under the hood, it’s more of the same.
