Match announcement
Florida Panthers
USACurrent Form
Florida is on a roll, emerging as interim leaders in the Eastern Conference. While competitors may soon overtake the Panthers, they currently have 19 points from 13 starts. In the latter half of October, Paul Maurice's team began to gain momentum. The Panthers have secured five consecutive wins and are clearly not planning to stop there. Before returning home, the Florida team had an impressive away series. Aleksander Barkov's squad triumphed in New York against the Rangers (3-1) and Islanders (6-3), then took points from Buffalo (5-2). In early November, the Panthers participated in the Global Series matches in Finland. They scored ten goals against Dallas, winning both games confidently (6-4 and 4-2).
With the captain's return from injury, Florida's offensive play has significantly improved. In the last five games, they scored 24 goals, raising their average to 3.69 goals per match. Sam Reinhart remains the top scorer for the hosts with 21 points (10+11). Adam Lundell is trying to catch up with the Canadian, but the Finn has only 13 points this season.
Sergei Bobrovsky is gradually finding his form and improving his stats. The goalie has saved 89.16% of shots on his goal but hasn't recorded a shutout. The Russian concedes 3.08 goals per 60 minutes.
Suspensions and Injuries
Florida's only player in the infirmary is Johan Gadlovich. All other key Panthers players are available to face Nashville.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Florida averages 3.69 goals per match
The Panthers continue to display a highly effective offensive game this season.
- The Panthers have conceded only five goals while shorthanded
It's also worth noting the team's strong performance in penalty killing. In this aspect, they remain one of the best in the league.
Nashville Predators
USACurrent Form
Nashville remains the weakest team in the conference, sharing the bottom spot in the overall league standings with Philadelphia. The Tennessee club has earned only nine points from 13 games and once again failed to secure points recently. The Predators had decent chances to win in the capital last night but couldn't seal the victory (2-3). A pivotal moment was the disallowed goal in the middle of the third period, which broke the visitors' winning spirit. Earlier, Andrew Brunette's squad had a disappointing series at Bridgestone Arena, collecting just two points from three attempts. The Predators lost to Edmonton (1-5) and Los Angeles (0-3) but confidently defeated Colorado (5-2).
Despite a strong lineup, Nashville remains one of the league's worst teams in terms of goals scored. The visitors average only 2.38 goals per game, with Filip Forsberg holding the top scorer status. The Swedish forward is gradually slipping down the NHL's overall list. He currently has ten points (6+4).
Juuse Saros almost always takes the ice as the Predators' starting goalie. The Finn has saved 90.40% of shots and recorded one shutout in 11 games.
Suspensions and Injuries
Nashville has no roster issues, and all top players are available to play against Florida.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Nashville concedes an average of 3.38 goals per game
The Predators have shown weak defensive play since the start of the season
- The Predators average 9.77 penalty minutes per game
The visitors can boast discipline throughout the current season.
Trends
Bet 2nd Period: Total Over 1.5 Goals

1.50Bet 3rd Period: Home Team to Score
The Panthers have scored in the third period for four consecutive games
1.35Tip and bets
Florida is in great form and continues to solidify its position among the conference leaders. Paul Maurice's team has been highly effective in attack recently, scoring a lot. Nashville still faces issues both in defense and offense. Andrew Brunette's squad is losing one game after another and currently looks quite lackluster. The Predators head to the game against the Panthers right after a tough match in the U.S. capital. We don't think the visitors will earn points on the ice at Amerant Bank Arena. We suggest betting on the home team to win in regulation time.
Our prediction - Florida to win at 1.85
Total Bet
All of Florida's home games this season have been thrilling in terms of scoring. Only in the first match at Amerant Bank Arena were fewer than six goals scored. The Panthers excel in offense, but Nashville also has players who can score. Although their attack has been average this fall, we believe both teams will combine for at least six goals.
Prediction - total over 5.5 goals at 1.65
Individual Total Bet
The Panthers have had some rest and now have a great chance to earn more points. Florida has been strong in offense recently and is capitalizing on their opportunities. Nashville lacks defensive reliability, and their backup goalie will be in net. We expect the Panthers to score at least three times.
Prediction - Florida's individual total over three at 1.65
