Game Preview
The Florida Panthers can punch their ticket to a third straight Stanley Cup Final Monday night with a Game 4 win at home over the Carolina Hurricanes. Leading the series 3-0, Florida has outscored Carolina 16-4 and has shown dominance in every aspect of the game.
Florida has covered the puck line in four straight and has scored at least five goals in each of the first three games. Their power play is converting at 25%, and their forecheck has overwhelmed a Hurricanes team that simply can’t find answers.
Why We Like Florida
The Panthers’ physical play, efficient offense, and elite goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky (.946 SV%) have created a nightmare for Carolina. In contrast, Hurricanes goaltending has been shaky, with Andersen and Kochetkov combining for a .768 SV%. Florida’s momentum is surging, and it doesn’t look like Carolina can slow them down.
Key Props to Watch
- Aleksander Barkov Anytime Goal (+195): Goals in two straight games and five in his last seven playoff matchups vs Carolina.
- Sergei Bobrovsky Under 24.5 Saves (-132): He’s only had to face 25+ shots five times this postseason. Carolina has averaged under 25 shots per game this series.
- Carter Verhaeghe 1+ Shot Each Period (+340): He’s active on the puck and plays heavy offensive minutes. He has five assists in the series.
Final Word
The Panthers have everything in place to complete the sweep: momentum, goaltending, and a relentless offensive approach. Expect a low-scoring game for Carolina and another assertive showing from Florida. Back the Panthers to win comfortably and move on to the Stanley Cup Final once again.
