Free Florida Panthers vs. Vancouver Canucks NHL Prediction:

I’m really liking the Vancouver defense at home in this one. They have only been giving up 2.40 goals per game on 31.3 shots.

The Canucks spend a ton of time in the penalty box every game, but they have been sharp when skating a man down and have even scored two goals short-handed this season.
