Carolina Hurricanes vs Florida Panthers Prediction 

Florida comes into this matchup after beating this Carolina team by a score of 6-3 on Friday, and they will be at home for this game. The Panthers are 7-5-1 at home, while the Hurricanes are 7-4-1 on the road this year. Carolina has lost three of their last five games and they are expected to start Perets in goal, which could be an issue. I don’t love going against Carolina and their great defense, but I think the Panthers are the play here at home.
