Detroit Red Wings vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/15/26

The Detroit Red Wings and Florida Panthers are set to wrap up their respective seasons on Wednesday night in Sunrise. Both teams didn’t qualify for the postseason, but they endured very different seasons. On one side the Panthers dealt with a plethora of injuries from the jump, and were never really in playoff contention. On the other side, the Red Wings held the top spot in the Atlantic division as late as January, but en epic collapse down the stretch led to Detroit missing the playoffs for the 10th season in a row.

Given the lack of motivation on both sides, this could be a low-scoring contest. The Red Wings are essentially the most demoralized team in the NHL after their late-season collapse, and they enter this matchup with just 1 win over their last 6 games. The Panthers are down a significant number of goal-scorers, which severely limits their offensive ceiling. The Panthers have also scored just a single power play goal over their last 7 games. In addition, both teams are averaging less than 3 goals per game on the season. Look to the under in this one.
