Panthers vs. Canucks Betting Analysis
Florida comes into the Florida Panthers game tonight with a 5-4-1 record in its last 10 games, most recently losing 4-0 to the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday. The Panthers had won three games in a row before that loss. They’re 8-5-2 on the road this season and have been fueled by strong goaltending and defense. While they have plenty of talent up front, the Panthers are just 20th in goals per game (3.04) and 20th in power-play percentage (18.2).
Sam Reinhart is having a career year for the Panthers, leading the team in NHL player stats with 37 points (17 goals, 20 assists), while Aleksander Barkov is second with 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists). Matthew Tkachuk has just five goals with a career-worst 4.7 shooting percentage.
Power-Play Prowess
The Canucks, meanwhile, are an offensive juggernaut with 3.83 goals per game, ranking first among all teams in NHL stats. They have the league’s fifth-best power-play at 26.5 percent and rank fourth in goals allowed (2.55). They arguably have the NHL picks for best goaltender (Demko), defenseman (Quinn Hughes), and forward (Elias Pettersson), making them a clear contender for the Stanley Cup.
Pettersson is third on the Canucks in scoring with 37 points (11 goals, 26 assists), two points behind Hughes and five behind team leader J.T. Miller. Brock Boeser, fourth in scoring, leads the team in goals with 21 and is tied with Auston Matthews for the league lead.
Florida Panthers vs. Vancouver Canucks Betting Picks
It’s hard not to expect a win for the Vancouver Canucks prediction tonight. The team has the second-best record against the spread (ATS), including 11-4 at home. Overall, they’re 11-3-1 on home ice yet are somehow underdogs in the Panthers vs Canucks picks and parlays. The Canucks moneyline and under 6.5 are strong bets for tonight.
Boeser, meanwhile, is a good pick to score as he is coming off of a hat trick and has six goals in his last six home games. Reinhart, meanwhile, hasn’t scored in three games and will be looking to get one tonight, so expect plenty of shots; he had four on Tuesday against the Kraken.
