Let’s get into my NHL picks for Tuesday, March 31.

Senators vs Panthers prediction

Senators vs Panthers best bet: Drake Batherson Over 0.5 points (-140)

Drake Batherson has produced at least one point in 60% of his appearances this season. That strong hit rate jumps significantly when facing Bottom-10 defenses, such as the Florida Panthers.

Batherson has picked up a point in 17 of 22 games fitting the criteria, good for a 77% success rate. That includes a productive meeting with the Panthers back in January.

The Panthers are more focused on improving their draft position than winning games, and that shows in their recent results. They have dropped six of the last eight and allowed 3+ goals seven times.

Senators vs Panthers same-game parlay

Tim Stutzle leads the Ottawa Senators in assists. He forms a formidable duo alongside Batherson on the top line, and also has exposure to other top scoring threats — like Brady Tkachuk and Dylan Cozens — when skating on the top power play unit.

The Senators sit third in points percentage since February 1, and their underlying numbers are exceptional. Led by Batherson and Stutzle, they should handle business against a Panthers team playing out the string of a disappointing, injury-plagued season.
