Columbus Blue Jackets vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/06/25

The hockey world is waiting for the Panthers to go on a run, but it just has not happened. They are 12-12-2 and their 26 points are tied for the least in the Eastern Conference. Florida enters this game winless in its last 4 games, having been outscored 15-7 over that span. The losing streak looks worse considering they fell to the Flames and Predators, a couple of the worst teams in the NHL. 

This Panthers team has proven for years that they can turn things around at any point. But they just are not a reliable play right now. Columbus has won 2 straight entering Saturday, with 11 goals scored in those games. The Jackets have scored 14 goals in their last 3 games, which makes for a tough matchup for the Panthers — who have scored 2 goals in their last 2 games and have scored 2 or fewer goals in 3 out of their last 4 and in 5 out of their last 9. This one sets up well for a Columbus upset.
