Panthers at Wild picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 4, Wild 3

Moneyline

This one simply comes down to how you feel about the 2 defenses vs. the numbers they’ve posted so far. Per Hockey-Reference.com, Minnesota leads the NHL with a .941 SV% in 5-on-5 play. Florida’s .902 mark ranks 31st in that same measure.

Peg both sides as due for market corrections. Shot-type and puck-possession analytics are bullish on the Panther defense and bearish on the Wild’s.

BACK FLORIDA (-145).

Puck line/Against the spread

No interest. STEER CLEAR.

Over/Under

The Over has gone 7-2-1 across the last 10 series meetings.

The goalie match-up may have been a terrific one five years ago, but it creates an Over lean these days.

Florida has banged out 5-plus goals 5 times over its last 11 games. Minnesota has yielded 3.80 goals per game over its last 5 contests. And the Wild defense has killed off just 7 of its last 13 penalties.

The OVER 5.5 (-105) is the value side here.

Florida Panthers at Edmonton Oilers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Florida Panthers at Edmonton Oilers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Florida Panthers (18-11-2) clash with the Edmonton Oilers (18-10-2) in a 2024 Stanley Cup rematch on Monday. Puck drop from Rogers Place is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET (NHL Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Panthers vs. Oilers odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Panthers won 2-0 last season, and won 4-3 in the Stanley Cup

The Panthers have been shut out in back-to-back games, losing 3-0 against the Calgary Flames on Saturday while failing to cover as -186 road favorites. Florida outshot Calgary 32-27, but was unable to find the back of the net.

Edmonton has won 5 games in a row after taking down the Vegas Golden Knights 6-3 on Saturday and covering as a -146 home favorite. Six Oilers scored while C Leon Draisaitl had a goal and 2 assists.

Panthers at Oilers picks and predictions

Prediction

Oilers 4, Panthers 3

Moneyline

BET OILERS (-125).

The Oilers will take advantage of their first chance to get revenge on the Panthers since the Stanley Cup. The Oilers have won 5 straight games and 8 of their last 10 while allowing 2 or fewer goals in 3 of their last 4 contests.

The Panthers have stalled recently, scoring just 2 goals over their last 3 games and losing back-to-back outings.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is no value on the Panthers +1.5 (-250) spread. However, Edmonton has scored 13 goals in its last 2 games while Florida has scored 0 in its last 2 so the Oilers -1.5 (+200) could be worth a wager if you are feeling more risky than an outright win.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6 (-115).

While the Panthers offense has seemingly stalled out over its last 3 games, it has scored 5 or more goals in 4 of its last 9 games while allowing 3 or more goals in 3 of its last 5 contests.

Edmonton’s offense is the opposite, scoring 6 or more goals in 3 of its last 5 games and 4 goals or more in 7 of its last 9 contests.

Florida Panthers at Calgary Flames odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Florida Panthers at Calgary Flames odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Florida Panthers (18-10-2) visit the Calgary Flames (14-11-5) Saturday with puck drop from Scotiabank Saddledome set for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Panthers vs. Flames odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Tied 1-1 last season

The Panthers had a 3-game win streak snapped in a 4-0 shutout loss at the Vancouver Canucks Thursday. Florida was a -175 road favorite, and the Under (5.5) easily hit. Despite outshooting the Canucks 27-19, the Panthers couldn’t solve G Kevin Lankinen, who was a brick wall in net.

The Flames lost 8-3 as +138 home underdogs to the Tampa Bay Lightning Thursday, marking their 3rd defeat in the last 4 games. The Over (6) cashed, and C Jonathan Huberdeau scored once and assisted on another in the loss. The game was competitive after 2 periods with Tampa Bay leading 4-3, but 4 unanswered Lightning goals in the final frame put the game out of reach.

Panthers at Flames projected goalies

Spencer Knight (5-4-1, 2.84 GAA, .890 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Dustin Wolf (8-5-1, 2.84 GAA, .909 SV%, 1 SO)

Knight will give starter Sergei Bobrovsky a break by manning the net Saturday. Knight last started Dec. 5 in a 7-5 win at the Philadelphia Flyers when he turned back 29 of 34 shots. Unfortunately, he allowed 5 goals in the start before that too, a 5-4 OT loss at the Pittsburgh Penguins Dec. 3. However, he shut out the Carolina Hurricanes 6-0 in a 20-save road performance Nov. 30. He’s 0-1-1 with a 4.34 GAA and an .867 SV% in 2 career outings vs. the Flames, last facing them in the 2022-23 season.

Wolf took the loss in his last start, allowing 6 goals on 28 shots to the Dallas Stars in a 6-2 defeat in Texas. He has lost 3 straight starts, giving up 14 goals with a 4.80 GAA and .845 SV%. This will be the first time he faces the Panthers in his 3-year NHL career.

Panthers at Flames picks and predictions

Prediction

Calgary 3, Florida 2

Moneyline

BET FLAMES (+165).

The Flames may be struggling recently, but returning home could help turn things around. Calgary boasts an impressive 10-4-1 home record, allowing just 2.6 goals per game at Scotiabank Saddledome. Wolf has been outstanding at home, posting a 7-1 record with a 1.85 GAA and .942 SV%.

The Panthers are in the midst of a 5-game road trip, after starting in Seattle and moving through Canada. Calgary, on the other hand, just finished a grueling stretch of 6 road games in 8 outings. With the comfort of their own beds, the Flames should get a much-needed win Saturday night.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

Focus on the moneyline with those plus odds.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 5.5 (+100).

The Panthers have gone Under in 3 straight games, scoring just 1 goal in their last 2 road contests — they won a 2-1 shootout at Seattle Tuesday.

Wolf’s last 6 home starts have all gone Under, and he hasn’t allowed more than 2 goals in any home start since November.

Carolina Hurricanes at Florida Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Carolina Hurricanes at Florida Panthers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Carolina Hurricanes (16-6-1) meet the Florida Panthers (14-9-1) Saturday at Amerant Bank Arena in the second end of a home-and-home series. Puck drop is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Hurricanes vs. Panthers odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Panthers lead 1-0 after 6-3 win Friday in the front-end of the home-and-home as moderate underdogs (+141) as the Over (6) cashed

Carolina is in a tough spot, as the top 2 goaltenders Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) are banged up. After Spencer Martin allowed 5 goals on 29 shots, the Canes might have to turn to their fourth-string goaltender Yaniv Perets.

The Panthers have 6 different goal scorers in their 6-3 win Friday, as Sergei Bobrovsky kicked aside 28 of the 31 shots he faced in the win. Florida has won 2 in a row after a 1-6-0 skid, and it’s the first time winning consecutive games since a 7-game win streak from Oct. 24-Nov. 9.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Hurricanes at Panthers projected goalies

Yaniv Perets (0-0-0, 0.00 GAA, 1.000 SV% in 2023-24) vs. Spencer Knight (3-4-0, 2.63 GAA, .902 SV%)

Perets is likely to make his season debut, and his first-ever NHL start. The French-Canadian made a single save in a relief appearance Jan. 15, 2024 against the Los Angeles Kings in 12:46 in his only previous NHL appearance last season.

Knight allowed 2 goals on 29 shots last time out against the Washington Capitals in a 4-1 loss Monday. While he has a rough 1-3-0 record in 4 November starts, he has managed a strong 2.30 GAA and .906 SV%.

Hurricanes at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 5, Hurricanes 2

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (-110) are a good bet to sweep this home-and-home set.

It’s a tough spot for the Hurricanes (-110), as they either have to start Perets for his first NHL start on the road, or keep leaning into Martin, who has never been a No. 1 goaltender in the NHL. He is starting to show signs of breaking down after allowing 12 goals in 3 games since Monday.

Puck line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous, consider PANTHERS -1.5 (+200) at plus-money instead of just playing the moneyline.

The Panthers have won back-to-back games against the Maple Leafs and Hurricanes, outscoring the opposition 11-4 to cover the puck line in both outings. In the past 10 victories since Oct. 24, Florida has won by 2 or more goals 9 times. So, if you like the Panthers to win, you should also like them to cover.

Over/Under

The OVER 6.5 (-110) is the lean in the second end of this back-to-back.

The Over cashed Friday in Raleigh, and the Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 outings, with an average of 7.8 goals per game (GPG) in the span.

For Carolina, the Over has hit in 4 straight games, and, again, Perets might be making his first NHL start. That’s a tough assignment against the defending Stanley Cup champs on the road.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Florida Panthers (13-9-1) meet the Carolina Hurricanes (16-5-1) Friday at Lenovo Center in the front end of a home-and-home series. Puck drop is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Panthers vs. Hurricanes odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Hurricanes won 2-1 in 2023-24

The Panthers picked up a 5-1 win Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, snapping a 4-game losing streak. The Over and Under have alternated in the previous 9 outings dating back to Nov. 9. Florida has lost 2 straight on the road, too.

The Hurricanes have topped the New York Rangers and Dallas Stars in each of the past 2 outings despite the fact Carolina is using its third-string goaltender Spencer Martin. That’s because Pyotr Kochetkov is in the concussion protocol, while Frederik Andersen continues to rebound from a knee injury.

Sergei Bobrovsky (10-5-1, 3.05 GAA, .889 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Spencer Martin (3-2-1, 3.33 GAA, .856 SV%, 1 SO)

Bobrovsky allowed just a single goal on 24 shots in a 5-1 victory against the Maple Leafs Wednesday. He has a respectable 5-3-0 record in 8 November starts, but just a mediocre 3.13 GAA and .886 SV% with 1 shutout.

Bob was just 1-2-0 in 3 starts against the Hurricanes last season, but he had a tremendous 2.01 GAA and .935 SV% in 3 starts.

Martin has won back-to-back starts for the first time this season, allowing 7 goals on 41 shots in consecutive wins against the Rangers and Stars, which is quite impressive.

Martin faced the Panthers Nov. 6, 2023, in a relief appearance as a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets, allowing just 2 goals on 36 shots in a 5-4 OTL.

Panthers at Hurricanes picks and predictions

Prediction

Hurricanes 4, Panthers 3

Moneyline

The HURRICANES (-135) are a strong play in this matinee game on Black Friday in Raleigh, and for folks in the local market, the game is available for free on WRAL TV, a rarity.

Carolina has impressive back-to-back wins over the Stars and Rangers, 2 impressive victories despite a third-string tendy.

The Canes catch the Panthers (+120) at a good time, as Florida has managed a 1-4-0 mark in the past 5 games and 2-6 record across the previous 8 outings.

Puck line/Against the spread

Backing the Panthers +1.5 (-210) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s a ton of risk for not much reward.

If you like Florida, just bet it straight up.

AVOID.

Over/Under

The OVER 6 (-115) is the lean in this Eastern Conference matinee battle.

Again, the Over has alternated in each of the past 9 games for the Panthers, while going 14-7-0 in the past 21 outings.

For the Hurricanes, the Over has hit in 3 straight games, although prior to that, the total had gone low at a 4-0-1 clip.

The Panthers were spanked 4-1 against the Washington Capitals Monday night as the Under (6) cashed. The defending champs have lost 4 in a row and are just 1-6 in the past 7 outings since Nov. 12.

Woll allowed 2 goals on 26 shots in a 3-2 victory against the Utah Hockey Club, and he has rattled off 4 straight victories, allowing just 6 goals on 105 shots. He faced the Panthers twice last season, going 1-1-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .938 SV% in 2 starts.

Bobrovsky was hammed by the Avalanche Saturday in his most recent start, allowing 6 goals on just 24 shots. He has allowed 4 or more goals in 3 of his past 4 games, and Bob is just 1-3-0 with a 3.99 GAA and .856 SV% in the skid.

Maple Leafs at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Maple Leafs 3, Panthers 1

Moneyline

The MAPLE LEAFS (+115) are worth a look as short ‘dogs on the road.

Toronto has picked up 4 consecutive victories, albeit 3 of them coming by a single goal, including 2 OT wins. But, wins are wins, and they’re just not coming for Florida lately. The Panthers (-135) have dropped 4 in a row, and 6 of the past 7 outings, as they link into the Thanksgiving break.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Maple Leafs +1.5 (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return if you can’t trust Toronto straight up and need a little bit of insurance. That’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

AVOID, and just play Toronto straight up.

Over/Under

The UNDER 6 (-120) is the lean in this battle in South Florida.

The Under has cashed in 2 in a row for the Leafs, while going 8-2-1 in the past 11 games.

For the Panthers, the Under cashed last time out, and they’ve allowed just 2.0 goals per game in the past 3 outings. The Under has a 4-3 edge in the past 7 outings.

C Aleksander Barkov scored his 3rd goal of the season and added 2 assists for Florida, which covered as a -142 favorite with the Under (6) sneaking in for a cash. Barkov has an 8-game point streak, and the Panthers have won 8 of 10.

The Jets have lost 2 in a row now for the first time this season — they won 7 straight — and were 15-1 — before the current slide. They were outscored 9-1 in the 2 losses. LW Kyle Connor had just 4 shots on goal, 0 points and was a -5 in those games.

Panthers at Jets projected goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky (9-3-1, 2.89 GAA, .897 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (12-2-0, 2.14 GAA, .926 SV%, 3 SO)

Bob stopped all 27 shots against Winnipeg Saturday in his 45th career shutout. He made a huge save on C Mark Scheifele midway through the 2nd period to keep it 2-0. That said, he was a little leaky in 4 other November starts, allowing 3+ goals in 3 of them.

Hellebuyck was great before allowing 5 goals to the Cats Saturday. He allowed 4 goals combined in the previous 4 games, which included 2 shutouts. Hellebuyck is 7-1-0 with a 1.88 GAA and .934 SV% at home and 5-1-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .916 SV% on the road.

Panthers at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 4, Jets 3

Moneyline

As mentioned, the Panthers won Saturday’s game 5-0 with physical play and goaltending. They went 0-for-3 on the power play. Winnipeg’s torrid start has been built on the foundation of Hellebuyck standing on his head. He’s only allowed 4+ goals in a game 3 times this season.

How will the Jets respond to this test in a brutal stretch of schedule against Eastern Conference foes? I think Florida punches them in the mouth again, and for a team that’s not used to playing from behind, they lose their 3rd in a row.

TAKE PANTHERS (+100) … especially at even-money.

Puck line/Against the spread

I am jumping on ALEKSANDER BARKOV OVER 0.5 ASSISTS (-120). As mentioned, he has an 8-game point streak. He has assists in each of those and 14 in the 10 games he’s played this season.

In some states, BetMGM Sportsbook has a 20% NHL odds boost token available. Slap that on it to get better odds.

Over/Under

These teams have gone Under in the last 2 head-to-head meetings. Those resulted in shutouts, though, which is not happening Tuesday night. They were Over in the 4 previous games. Florida is 6-3 O/U in their last 9, and Winnipeg is 5-5 over their last 10.

I like OVER 5.5 (-110).

Jets at Panthers projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (12-1-0, 1.92 GAA, .924 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Sergei Bobrovsky (8-3-1, 3.14 GAA, .889 SV%)

Hellebuyck has been one of, if not, the best goalie in the league this season. His 12 wins and 3 shutouts are both 1st in the NHL while his SV% is 2nd-best and his GAA is 3rd-best. He has 2 shutouts in his last 4 games and has allowed 2 or fewer goals in 4 of his last 6. He went 1-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .939 SV% against Florida last year.

Bobrovsky’s 8 wins are tied for 2nd-best in the NHL while his GAA and SV% rank 37th and 40th respectively. He has allowed 3 or more goals in 3 of his last 4 games. He allowed 5 goals in a 6-4 loss to Winnipeg early last season and stopped 28 of 30 in a 3-0 loss later in the year.

Jets at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 4, Panthers 3

Moneyline

BET JETS (+115).

Winnipeg is the best team in the NHL, winning 15 of its 17 games including 7 of its last 8. It has held opponents to 3 or fewer goals in 4 of its last 5 games and is 4-1 in its last 5 games on the road. Florida has lost back-to-back games, both at home and has allowed 3 or more goals in each of its last 3 games.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is no value on the Jets’ spread.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6 (-115).

While this game features 2 of the league’s top goalies, both offenses are equally as solid. The Jets have scored 4 or more goals in 2 of their last 3 games and in 7 of their last 10 while the Panthers have scored 4 or more goals in 6 of their last 8.

Devils at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Devils 3, Panthers 2

Moneyline

New Jersey is 7-3-0 on the road.

Prior to yielding 35 shots Tuesday, New Jersey allowed just 26.0 shots per game over its previous 7. Over that same stretch, the Devils had shut down each of 16 opponent power plays. Florida did get to New Jersey for a PP goal in 3 tries Tuesday, but the Devils have been excellent in killing penalties. Their 84% mark ranks eighth in the NHL.

Drilling down on 5-on-5 analytics reveals the Panthers as being a bit too far out over their skis with their won-loss record, and Florida was a successful fade bet Tuesday. Earning back-to-back wins in a series like this feels like a tall order, but New Jersey is still on the value side here.

TAKE THE DEVILS +120.

Puck line/Against the spread

New Jersey is the would-be lean here. But going past about -205 on the Devils +1.5 saps away too much profit leverage.

STEER CLEAR.

Over/Under

The Under 6 cashed in Tuesday’s game, and the Under is 5-2 across the last 7 series meetings.

Tag the Panthers offense with some fade lean, and add in the fact both clubs own top-10 penalty killing percentages, and the Under is once again the likable side in this game. When playing on 1-day rest, both teams have been solid defensively.

TAKE THE UNDER 6 (-105).
