2024-25 Season Series: Panthers 1-1 Jets

How to Watch:

US TV: Scripps Florida; ESPN+

Canada TV: TSN3

Time: 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Our last game of NHL predictions has the Florida Panthers meeting with the Winnipeg Jets for the first time this season. Florida is likely to give Sergei Bobrovsky the start in between the pipes for this game. The Panthers are 4-5-1 but did get Matthew Tkachuk back in their last game. Sam Reinhart has 24 goals and 23 assists for 47 points.

Connor Hellebuyck is the projected starter for the Jets, who are 5-3-2 in their previous 10 games. Winnipeg is starting to look like its old self again but needs to start picking up points in a hurry. Mark Scheifele leads the team in goals (25), assists (36), and points (61) for the Jets so far.

Winnipeg has been a better team as of late. However, it’s desperation team for Florida.

Prediction: Panthers win 4-2.

As for individual props, take Alex Tuch to get a goal for Buffalo. On the Montreal side of things, go with Juraj Slafkovsky to get a power-play point.
