Florida Panthers at Columbus Blue Jackets

Why the model likes it

The edge exists because the projected total is meaningfully higher than the market number, suggesting this game should produce more offense than expected. Florida games can become high-event when their forecheck creates turnovers and odd-man rushes, and Columbus is often more vulnerable when facing sustained pressure. The side model also indicates the listed favorite status is questionable, which can support a looser, less controlled game state. If special teams contribute even modestly, this number has a strong path to clearing.
