The Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes meet Wednesday in NHL action at the PNC Arena. The Florida Panthers look for a win after winning 10 of their last 13 games. The Carolina Hurricanes need a win after losing three of their last four games.

The Florida Panthers are averaging 4.1 goals per game and are scoring on 20.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Sam Bennett leads Florida with 21 goals, Jonathan Huberdeau has 47 assists and Aaron Ekblad has 137 shots on goal. Defensively, the Florida Panthers are allowing 2.8 goals per game and are killing 80.1 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Sergei Bobrovsky has given up 79 goals on 985 shots faced, and Spencer Knight has allowed 53 goals on 520 shots.

The Carolina Hurricanes are averaging 3.5 goals per game and are scoring on 24.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Sebastian Aho leads Carolina with 21 goals, Tony DeAngelo has 30 assists and Andrei Svechnikov has 149 shots on goal. Defensively, the Carolina Hurricanes are allowing 2.4 goals per game and are killing 89.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Frederick Anderson has allowed 66 goals on 927 shots faced, and Antti Raanta has allowed 25 goals on 274 goals.

The Panthers are 4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 3 or more days rest and 40-19 in their last 59 overall. The Hurricanes are 39-16 in their last 55 home games and 17-7 in their last 24 overall. The over is 19-7 in Panthers last 26 overall. The over is 6-2 in Hurricanes last 8 vs. Eastern Conference. The Panthers are 15-37-2 in the last 54 meetings in Carolina and 6-14 in the last 20 meetings.

There’s good reason why the Carolina Hurricanes are favored here, as they’re at home, they’ve beaten up on the Panthers in past meetings and the Panthers have had a massive layoff. The Florida Panthers haven’t played since February 1 so who knows what to expect from so much time off. With that said, we’re getting the Panthers, one of the best teams in the sport, at plus money. You’re not going to get these prices often. Take advantage of it while you can.
