Game review
The Florida Panthers beat the Winnipeg Jets 5-1, with the game swinging in a three-goal first period. Winnipeg got one back in the second, but Florida answered and closed it out in the third.
Carter Verhaeghe scored twice for Florida, while Matthew Tkachuk drove the offense with four assists and four points. Adam Lowry had Winnipeg’s goal and point. Florida’s special teams told the story: the Panthers went 3-for-5 on the power play at 60 percent, while Winnipeg went 0-for-2. Florida also won 57.1 percent of faceoffs and held edges in blocked shots and hits, helping protect the lead despite a close shot count and Winnipeg’s short-handed goal.
For bettors, the Panthers covered the 1.5-goal spread by 2.5, and the 6.5 total settled under by 0.5.
