Blue Jackets vs. Panthers

The Over 4.5 is heavily supported by Columbus’s offensive surge, as they are averaging 4.0 goals per game during their current seven-game point streak, led by Conor Garland’s four goals in just three games since the trade deadline. Florida’s defense remains a liability, conceding 3.6 goals per game in March, and the confirmed return of top scorer Sam Reinhart tonight provides the necessary firepower to exploit a Blue Jackets squad that recently allowed five goals to the Kings.
