Betting On Florida Panthers
Florida’s balanced play on both ends has been the difference in this series. The Panthers have outscored Carolina 16-7 over the four games, with Aleksander Barkov and Evan Rodrigues leading the charge offensively. The defense, anchored by Niko Mikkola and Aaron Ekblad, has been suffocating, and Sergei Bobrovsky has posted a .950 save percentage. With their defense clicking and depth scoring showing up, the Panthers will look to close things out on the road.
Betting On Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes showed signs of life in Game 4 with a 3-0 shutout win, but their offensive inconsistencies remain a concern. Seth Jarvis and Sebastian Aho have led the way, but production from key names like Andrei Svechnikov has dried up. Carolina’s defense finally delivered in Game 4, but Frederik Andersen will need to elevate his game again to stave off elimination for a second time.
MatchPlug Prediction For Panthers vs Hurricanes
Florida has been the more consistent team in this series, dominating possession and converting chances at a higher rate.
