Anaheim Ducks vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/28/25

The Anaheim Ducks will be looking to continue the solid start to their season when they are in south Florida to take on the Panthers. Early on, one aspect of the Ducks game that has improved drastically from last season is their goal scoring. Last year they ranked third last in the NHL, averaging 2.65 goals per game. They are currently sitting fifth in the league, averaging 3.63 goals per game. New head coach Joel Quenneville deserves much of the credit for this, but also their young players have another season of hockey under their belt. They are loaded with explosive young talent. With a young team, comes inexperience at the defensive end of the ice. They are ranked 27^th in the league, allowing 3.63 goals per game. Their last three games have all gone over the game total, largely due to their poor defensive play.

The Panthers offense has not been up to their standards to begin the year – losing players like Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov from your lineup will cause this. However, they still possess the ability to score with players like Sam Reinhart, Carter Verhaeghe and Brad Marchand. I believe their veteran lineup will be able to capitalize on the defensive mistakes made by the Ducks. I think we are in for a high-scoring game, give me the over in this one.
