Hurricanes vs. Panthers prediction: NHL picks, odds
Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers entered the 2022-23 NHL season priced as favorites in the Eastern Conference. Carolina is off to a good start, but Florida has been inconsistent. Florida's lineup has changed recently with the injury to Aaron Ekblad and the suspension of Matthew Tkachuk.
The Panthers are 7-5-1, but their goal differential is only +1. Carolina is first in the NHL in shot attempt share, second in expected goals rate and third in high-danger chance percentage.
Carolina can roll four lines and three defense pairs. Carolina is the favorite to beat the Panthers on Wednesday night.
