Florida Panthers vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/15/25

The Detroit Red Wings were able to bounce back from a season-opening loss to the Canadiens with back-to-back wins over the Maple Leafs. Detroit has scored 10 goals while also allowing 10 goals through 3 games so far this season. Led by Dylan Larkin, the Red Wings have a decent forward group that features a good mix of veteran players and talented young guns learning how to play at the NHL level. The offense has been steady, but the defense has been worrisome. Detroit has had way too many defensive lapses early on this season, which has led to a high number of odds-man rushes and scoring chances for their opponents. The goaltender tandem of John Gibson and Cam Talbot isn’t elite enough to bail out the defense, and going up against a deep Panthers team presents a lot of problems for the Red Wings in this one.

Even without Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov, the Panthers have a talented forward group that still features the likes of Carter Verhaeghe, Brad Marchand, and Sam Bennett. Florida scored 11 goals over its first 3 games before scoring just 2 against the Flyers on Saturday. Going up against a poor Red Wings defense gives the Panthers a strong opportunity to light the lamp. Look to the over in this Atlantic division matchup.
