NHL Predictions<\/span><\/h2>\n

Florida Panthers vs Carolina Hurricanes<\/h3>\n

Series: Panthers 1-0 Hurricanes<\/h4>\n

It’s the featured and only game of NHL predictions as the Panthers look to take a 2-0 series lead<\/a>. Matthew Tkachuk<\/a> ended a four-overtime game that was the sixth-longest game of the season. Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a> is the likely starter<\/a> going into this one, but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Carter Verhaeghe<\/a> and Aleksander Barkov<\/a> are also in double-digits in points for the Cats. Brandon Montour<\/a> logged loads of minutes and has turned into a solid defenceman for Florida. The Panthers have won seven straight road games since losing Game 1 of the opening-round to the Boston Bruins.<\/p>\n

Frederik Andersen<\/a> is the projected starter in goal, but that hasn’t been confirmed. Carolina fought back late to tie the game and got two points from Seth Jarvis<\/a>. Sebastian Aho<\/a> leads the team in points with 11 while Jordan Martinook<\/a> and Jarvis each have 10 points. Brent Burns<\/a> played 55 minutes in Game 1 and has been strong on both ends<\/a> of the ice for the Canes. Carolina has been strong in bouncing back from losses as it’s 3-0 coming off a loss.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes are good at recovering from a loss and that will show in this one. This series will be tied at one heading back to Sunrise.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Hurricanes win 3-1.<\/em><\/p>\n
