Florida wraps up their West Coast road swing on the second half of a back to back against one of the Western Conference's top teams. The Ducks will have had two full days of rest before the game against the Panthers and will look to wrap up Sunday's game quickly and efficiently.

The Panthers actually haven't played too horrible lately. Sure they've only posted 4 victories in their last 10 but three of them have had huge money line payouts. A 3-2 victory in San Jose 5 days ago paid out a whopping +303 to Panther bettors and beating Anaheim on their home ice could show similar profits. That being said, it's hard to imagine if the road weary Panthers will have enough firepower to pull off the upset.

The 3rd place Ducks haven't really been playing like it lately. Anaheim has lost 2 straight heading into Sunday's contest and 6 of 8 overall. Bettors have taken a beating behind the Ducks as they've been favored in 5 of those 6 losses including 4 at -170 or better and a 3-4 loss to Montreal where Anaheim was -190.

The betting public will be looking for value in this matchup and might be leery of putting their faith, and money, on a struggling Ducks team. In fact, Florida was able to capture a 3-2 win over Anaheim back in November at the BB&T Center in Sunrise. While it seemed like a big upset, oddsmakers weren't surprised as they posted the Panthers as only +124 moneyline winners.
