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

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

Series: Hurricanes 0-3 Panthers<\/h4>\n

Our featured and only game of our NHL predictions has the Hurricanes fighting for their playoff lives. No one thought Carolina would be down 0-3 in the Eastern Conference Final against a Florida team that snuck in. The Hurricanes have struggled mightily is 5-on-5 chances with only one goal in that scenario. Both Frederik Andersen<\/a> and Antti Raanta<\/a> have done a solid job in goal. However, both goalies need some type of offensive support. Raanta is the projected starter<\/a> for the Canes, but always check online before locking in a goalie. Scoring one goal or less isn’t going to get the job done. It also seems like the loss of Andrei Svechnikov<\/a> has finally caught up to the Hurricanes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a> has found the game<\/a> that garnered him a $10 million per season from the Panthers. He’s played a large hand in Florida’s being one game away from the team’s second-ever Stanley Cup Final. Matthew Tkachuk<\/a> has also earned himself the massive contract that general manager Bill Zito gave him. Sam Reinhart<\/a> got the only goal for Florida in the Game 3 victory. The Panthers have cashed in their chances, but also haven’t given up that many scoring opportunities. Florida has dominated even-strength play this series.<\/p>\n

Carolina has a lot of grit and fight-back. However, Florida seems to be playing on another level. The Panthers book their spot in the Stanley Cup Final with the clean sweep.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Panthers win 3-2.<\/em><\/p>\n
