Florida Panthers - Carolina Hurricanes: NHL match betting tip

Current form

Florida began the semifinal series with Carolina, playing on the road, where in the first match it showed a not very reliable defensive game, allowing the opponent to create a huge number of dangerous chances at their own goal. However, this did not prevent the team from defeating the opponent with a score of 5:2. The attacking line played very successfully, and goalkeeper Bobrovsky also scored, reflecting 31 shots out of 33. In the second leg, the Panthers did not allow the Hurricanes to score a single goal at all, winning a 5-0 victory. The second-line forwards Verhage and Bennett were the most productive, scoring three goals each.

Returning to the home arena, the Panthers consolidated their success, defeating Carolina again with a score of 6:2. Before the start of the third period, the score remained equal, but in the final twenty minutes, Florida seemed to burst, and almost every shot hit the target. Now the team has a critical advantage in the series, and only one victory separates it from the final.

Disqualifications and injuries

Greer and Reinacht are still in doubt.

Interesting betting trends

• According to statistics, Florida makes 27 shots on target

Current form

Carolina got off to a great start in the playoffs and suffered only one defeat in the first two series, thereby easily earning a ticket to the semifinals. It seemed that the team was in great shape and would continue to delight the fans with the results, but serious problems arose in the series with Florida from the very start. In the first match, the Hurricanes looked better than their competitor, but due to the low effectiveness of their shots, they had to be defeated. It seems that this setback had a strong effect on the overall spirit of the team, as already in the second leg, she made only 17 shots in three periods and remained without a single abandoned puck.

As expected, the Hurricanes also failed to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans. Constant defensive mistakes and goalkeeper Kochetkov's not-so-outstanding play led to a complete failure (2:6) and put the club on the brink of relegation from the playoffs.

Disqualifications and injuries

Jesper Fast won't play. Chatfield, Jarvis and Walker are also questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Carolina scores 3.4 goals per game.
• The hurricanes completed 30% of the majority's attempts
