NHL Free Pick: The Panthers are 0-3-1 on their current road trip but they have an opportunity to end their drought against a struggling Jackets team. Columbus has only compiled five goals during its four-game losing streak and the Jackets have now dropped 13 of their last 15. Columbus has won three straight matchups against Florida and four of the last five overall. But the road team is 4-1 in the last five matchups and the Panthers’ Sergei Samsonov has averaged a point per game over the last seven contest while Stephen Weiss has recorded vie points in six games. The Panthers are due – cash in on their value.
