Florida Panthers vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/23/25

The Carolina Hurricanes will be hosting the Florida Panthers in their final games before the holiday break. The defending Stanley Cup champions come into this game playing some good hockey recently. In their last 10 games, they are 7-2-1. The Hurricanes have also been playing well, scoring three or more goals in all of their last seven games. On the season, the Hurricanes are averaging 3,29 goals per game, which is good for fifth-best in the NHL. The Panthers are also good offensively; they are averaging 3.14 goals per game. These teams met two games ago, and they played to a final score of 4-3. Look for some more fireworks from these teams on Tuesday.

The ageless wonder, Brad Marchand, is leading the way for the Panthers with 40 points in 34 games. They have a few other dynamic offensive players such as Sam Reinhart and Carter Verhaeghe. This game is loaded with offensive talent. I think we are in for another high-scoring game between these two teams. Give me the over in this one.
